Crosman 1077. Air rifles - PyramydAir.com

i dug the ol daisy out my oldest son had when he was little. he will be 27. my grandson started with it when he was 5. he killed a deer last year with a 222. ofcourse he has something to lay the gun on when he shoots. the bb gun made him a good shot. he will be 7 in dec. he has outgrowed the bb gun i think lol

When my son was about 5 i think i got him this one.http://www.pyramydair.com/p/Daisy-19...Free-BBs.shtml
Then when he turned 8 got him this one.

still has them both and he is 11 shoots the h@!! out of both. niether one was real pricy but have still lasted through the years and torture.:ok1: happy hunting at least there is some kids that want to get outdoors and do some plinkin and not sit infront of the tv playin video games.

Make the first one the weakest non shootinest thing you can find like the good ole trusty Red Ryder BB Guns. Let him start with somethin that would be hard to break windows and skin with. If he does OK with that then get him a real one.

:humm: If i had a penny for all of the BB's that shot through my bb guns growin up through the years maybe could afford some mods. :humm::U:

I would recomend going staight to a 22lr, I was raised with the philosophy of only shooting a gun that has the ability to feed you. I can't remember how old I was when I started shooting with a chipmunk rifle, but I do know that I had to have my dad cock it for me. I would say no matter what you start him with, just make sure if fits him. I'd recomend going up to Buckeye outdoors since they do have a pretty good selection, and just have him hold some and see what fits him the best. In my opinion, I would get him a youth modle Ruger 1022, not real expensive but a very very good gun that you could upgrade/modifie for him as he gets older. If you want any help let me know, my brother works there at buckeye in the archery department. In the gun department I would recoment you talk with a guy named Terry, he has a shaved head, and he really knows his stuff. Good luck.

Start with the basic Daisy Red Ryder and move up if he shows interest.

If you have a place to shoot a real gun, move him up to a 22LR soon as well.

he already has a 410 chipmunk and a 22lr chipmunk , i just dont think he is ready for them.

And IMO a 22LR is much much more dangerous than a 410 , 22LR are underestimated , I was a teenager before dad would even let me have a 22 but i had 16,20 and 12 gauges already

have him to treat the daisy just like its a real gun. :U:

In my opinion, with the way I was raised and taught all about gun safety (there are pitures of my sitting on a stool barely out of diapers with a pair of safety glasses on watching dad reload), it dosn't what kind or size of gun it is, you always have to excersize every aspect of gun safety ever conceived. It all comes down to teaching the child everything that you possibly can, and make them comfortable, and confident. No gun is dangerous when handled properly.

gun safety. you can never go wrong.

Plinkin around in the backyard with a bb gun rather than all the time with say a .22 does promote good gun safety and marksman ship JMO

Gun safety is number one.
I gave mine 1022’s when they were 5.

red ryder first then 22 because it might be to long before he has to hunt to put dinner on the table:rocking::U::U:

i had a crossman at 7 then a 22 at 9

I would say the old style Dasiey, that was my first gun.

get him this.

If he can handle it, you're done.

Seriously, though....stick with the Red Ryder to start with.

When he gets older and can cock a good spring gun, get a RWS Diana 34.

I've had my 34 .177 for about 20 years and just bought the 34 Panther in .22 this summer. synthetic stock and factory TruGlo sights.

10 shots inside a nickel at 15 yards, and the .22 caliber will kill squirrels, rabbits, cats.... etc.....and that 10 shots in a nickel isn't very good--these things are capable of insane accuracy, like same-hole groups.

Dang, $25 for a BB gun? "Hey kid, you're gonna shoot you eye out with that thing!" LOL

$25 is nothing for an air gun.....last tin of pellets I bought for my Webley was more than that.




The Daisy Buck is a great kid's first BB gun. Good choice. :)
