Recapture The Thrill Of Childhood With Quality Bb Guns

i still remember my first bb gun.  when i was 10 years old i had an older friend who got a new air rifle for christmas.  since he had upgraded he decided to hand down his older bb gun to me.  i was so excited to get it!  i can still hear the mechanical clack of the lever and smell the machine oil that i lovingly put on it.  it wasn’t much; just a simple spring-loaded lever action pistol, but to a young boy it meant the world.

as an adult, i wanted my son to have the same enjoyment, so for his 9th birthday, i got him an official red ryder bb gun.  anyone who has ever seen a christmas story is familiar with that particular model and the boyhood fantasies that come along with it (or with any other bb gun).

bb guns are a great way to bond

if you have a young person in your life, consider giving him or her the same joy that you felt the first time you held your very own bb gun.  the hours you spend together, teaching him or her to shoot or just plinking along at cans, will be more than worth the price tag of the gun.

bb guns are a good place to start training on gun safety

any hunter will tell you that careless handling of a weapon is one of the leading causes of accidental shootings.  unfortunately, with a high-powered rifle, your first mistake could also be your last.

start your young hunter off with a bb gun so he or she can learn the way to properly handle a weapon.  using a low powered bb gun could provide a little bit of a margin for error, so if he or she makes a mistake the outcome may not be as devastating.

whether you’re looking for a very low-powered pellet gun or a high-powered air rifle, at Safford Trading Company you will find a wide selection of quality bb guns at great prices.  browse through our stock today and pick one out for that special youngster in your life.
