Memories of those fun times in the early 1960s and 1970s keep coming back, some times very clear and other times is a haze.
When growing up in the 1960s used a Daisy BB gun when visiting family out in the wilds near Millersview Texas. Yes, was eagle eye Rob back in those days, was responsible for shooting scissor tale birds (nuisance birds in that time), bunny rabbits, snakes, tumble weeds, cactus, and just about anything else that got in my way.
Little did I know how import...ant my early use of a Daisy BB gun would help me out later in life. Imagine my surprise on arrival at the gun range at Fort Lewis, WA in 1970 to find the firing line equipped not with M14 or M16 rifles, but Daisy Model 99 BB guns! The U.S. Army trained recruits in Quick Kill techniques using Daisy Model 99 BB guns to improve soldiers using their weapons in the Vietnam War from 1967-1973.
