A couple of weeks ago at the skeet range, the puller was AWOL. While we were waiting, El Gato brought out a couple of old Red Ryder BB guns and we practiced shooting ammo boxes and stationary skeet.
Mrs. Casey never had a BB gun when she was a kid, so I bought her one. They're less than $20.
These little rifles are remarkably accurate. I can put most of my shots in a soup can at 20 yards. We can shoot until our arms fall off for less than a buck.
The only word of caution is that shooting BB guns is against the law in many cities and possibly contrary to restrictive covenants.
If, like me, you can't shoot firearms at home, give this a try. They don't go bang, but they build aim and trigger control.
