Taking Shots

Was over my friend Rob's house for a brief time after work on Friday and we were taking a few shots with his BB Gun. Didn't take long for me to want one.

We lined up a GI Joe of his in front of a cardboard box and shot from several feet away, blowing off its legs, 1 arm, and parts of its torso. When he got too small to hit (and too dark to see) we lined up some beer bottles and tore them apart.

Now I am in the market for a BB Gun. He told me that he bought his from Sports Authority so that was the first place I checked. Here are the few (if you call 10 a few) that were in my price range:

1. Crosman Nightstalker 1200 Air Rifle
2. Daisy Model 953 Air Rifle
3. Winchester 1000B Synthetic Stock Break Barrel Air Rifle
4. Crosman RepeatAir 1077 .177 Semi-Auto CO2 Air Rifle
5. Daisy Model 2856KC Silhouette Air Rifle Kit
6. Daisy Powerline 880 Air Rifle
7. Daisy Model 840C Grizzly Youth Air Rifle, Mossy Oak Camo
8. Daisy Model 1938 Red Ryder® Youth BB Gun
9. Daisy Backyard Shooting Air Rifle Kit
10. Daisy Powerline 5880 Shadow Plus Air Gun Kit

The last two are of the most interest because they are kits that come with the assortment of extras that I would eventually need to get anyway (bullets, goggles, etc.). I am particularly looking at number 9, the backyard kit.

The problem is, however, that they do not ship or sell (at least from the Sports Authority website) to New York. I guess there are some restrictions to buying BB Gun's but it cant be that restricting if my friend bought one a couple years ago in a Sports Authority. A few other friends of mine have BB Gun's as well.

Thinking of what to shoot next time, my friend and I decided we would buy some cheap action figures or set up water balloons hanging from trees in his backyard.
