If you ask a shooter or hunter today how they learned to shoot, you'll discover that most of them took their first shot with a Daisy BB gun. Because airguns have form and function similar to firearms, it's not uncommon to use a BB gun as a training gun, use a pellet rifle as a primary practice rifle or use a CO2 pistol in order to be familiar with proper handling of a semi-automatic pistol. Because Daisy is the leading manufacturer of airguns, the company takes seriously its obligation to emphasize shooting safety.
