My BB Gun

I think I was a 9-year old boy when I got my first BB gun. It was a Daisy. Of course I had a blast and was the ultimate shot. I would line up bear cans on the fense and knock them down each with a dead center shot. I got so good I could hit a can shooting from the hip.

I took this gun everywhere and it literally went through every kind of damage imaginable. I would climb up in a tree to get birds and would drop the gun on accident. I am sure it has seen its share of water. Not to mention the curiosity of a little boy. I am sure I put rocks and various sticks in the barrel to see how far they would shoot.

Around our property I am sure the trees were full of countless BBs. Even though I was the ultimate little cowboy causing all kinds of trouble I never got hurt from my gun but I am sure my mom stressed about it.
