I learned about backstop at age 8,

when I shot my new Daisy Red Ryder BB gun at a clothspin on a cloths line. The backstop, in my case, was the kitchen window. My father was eating his bowl of cereal and reading the morning newspaper when my BB showered window pane glass into his newspaper, barely missing his face.

The rest of the story is too painful to relate.

Did you know a Daisy Red Ryder can be thrown a good 40 or 50 yards?!!
