10 SHOOTING SAFETY RULES

Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

There are several safe “carries” depending on the situation.

NEVER ALLOW THE MUZZLE TO POINT IN THE

DIRECTION OF A PERSON.

reat every gun as if it were loaded.

ou can never be positive that you were the last person to handle

he gun. Never take anyone’s word about whether or not a gun is

oaded. Always check a gun to see if it is loaded when removed

rom storage or received from another person. Even if you have

ired an airgun one or more times and no pellet or BB was

xpelled from the barrel, it does not mean that the magazine of

the gun is empty of ammunition. Any airgun can fail to feed for

any number of reasons. Continue to treat the airgun as loaded

and ready to fire. ALWAYS TREAT A GUN AS IF IT IS LOADED

EVEN IF YOU KNOW IT ISN’T.

Only load or cock a gun when you are shooting.

A loaded gun has no place in your home or

other public place.

Check your target and beyond your target.

Be sure all persons are well clear

of the target area before you shoot. Check behind and beyond

your target to be certain you have a safe backstop and that no

person or property could be endangered.

Anyone shooting or near a shooter should

wear shooting glasses.

Also, all other persons should remain behind the shooter.

Never climb or jump with a gun.

You can’t control the direction of the muzzle if you stumble or fall.

You should safely lay the gun down or hand it to a companion

while you climb or jump over anything.

Avoid ricochet.

Never shoot at a flat hard surface or at the surface of water.

Ammunition can ricochet off of water just like a skipped rock.

Keep the muzzle clear.

Never let anything obstruct the muzzle of a gun. Don’t allow the

muzzle to come in contact with the ground.

Guns not in use should always be unloaded.

Keeping guns unloaded when not in use is critical to the safety of

you and others. When you are finished shooting, put the trigger

safety in the “on” position and unload the gun. Store guns so that

they are inaccessible to untrained shooters and store ammunition

separately from the gun.

Respect other people’

s pr

operty

Whether you’r

e tar

get shooting or hunting, if you’r

e a guest on

others’ land, you should leave it exactly as you found it.

NOT A TOY. ADULT SUPERVISION

REQUIRED. MISUSE OR CARE-

LESS USE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, PARTICULARLY TO THE

EYE. MAY BE DANGEROUS UP TO 212 YARDS (194 METERS).

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. THE PURCHASER AND

USER SHOULD CONFORM TO ALL LAWS GOVERNING USE AND OWN-

ERSHIP OF AIR GUNS. AIR GUNS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY

THOSE TEN YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION.

ACCORDING TO CALIFORNIA LAW

DO NOT BRANDISH OR DISPLAY

THIS AIRGUN IN PUBLIC - IT MAY

CONFUSE PEOPLE AND MAY BE A CRIME. POLICE AND OTHERS MAY

THINK THIS AIRGUN IS A FIREARM. DO NOT CHANGE THE COL-

ORATION AND MARKINGS TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE LIKE A FIREARM.

THAT IS DANGEROUS AND MAY BE A CRIME.

WARNING:

FAILURE TO FOLLOW

THESE RULES CAN RESULT

IN SERIOUS INJURY, PARTICULARLY TO THE EYE.

WARNING: THIS GUN CAN CAUSE THE

LOSS OF AN EYE. READ AND FOLLOW THE

NSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT COCK THE GUN UNTIL

OU ARE READY TO SHOOT. IF YOU DO COCK IT

ND DECIDE NOT TO SHOOT, POINT IT IN A SAFE

DIRECTION AND FIRE IT. AN UNCOCKED,

UNLOADED GUN IS THE SAFEST. ACCIDENTS

HAPPEN FAST, AND THE LOSS OF AN EYE IS A

TERRIBLE THING. SHOOT SAFELY.

This safety alert symbol indicates important safety mes-

sages in this manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to

the possibility of personal injury and carefully read the mes-

sage that follows.

The 10 Shooting Safety Rules found in “An Introduction

to Daisy Airgun Shooting” section of this manual (begins on

Page 9) is an important guide to the care and safe handling of

any gun. READ THIS SECTION. It is your responsibility as

the owner of this gun to make certain that anyone using the

gun is instructed in its safe and proper operation.

As the proud owner of a Daisy air gun, you have become

part of an American tradition which dates back to the time

when your great-grandfather was a small boy. Your new Daisy

gun is the result of more than 100 years experience by Daisy

in the manufacture of quality products.

Although your new Daisy is not a firearm, it is a gun and

should be treated with care and respect. Always remember,

the first and most important safety aspect of any gun is the

shooter. All safeties are mechanical devices and the shooter

is the only part of the system that can make a gun safe – or

unsafe. DON'T DEPEND ON MECHANICAL SAFETIES –

think ahead and avoid situations that might lead to accidents.

FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS,

READ COMPLETE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

ATTEMPTING TO SHOOT GUN. Guns differ in their opera-

tions and you are never ready to fire any gun until you are

thoroughly familiar with it. Read the operating instructions

and WITHOUT LOADING ANY AMMUNITION, proceed sever-

al times through the operating steps with your gun (dry fire

the gun at a safe target) so that you will be able to operate

your Daisy properly and safely.

Step 3. FEED BB

Step 4. AIM AT SAFE TARGET

Step 5. TAKE "OFF SAFE"

Step 6. FIRE

Step 1. PUT "ON" TRIGGER SAFETY

Push trigger safety from left to right so no red is showing.

It is a good practice to get in the habit of keeping the trigger

safety "ON" until ready to fire the gun (See Drawing No. 1a-1c).

LOAD BBs

Tilt gun to its right side, place thumb on arrow, push load-

ing door in and up (Drawing 2a). Cup hand under barrel and

slowly pour in new Daisy BBs (Drawing 2b). Do not complete-

ly fill reservoir as this could jam your gun. Close loading door.

Step 2. COCK

When cocking, raise muzzle with sight up. Firmly grasp

the cocking lever and pull outwar

d until it is fully cocked

(seven clicks for the Red Ryder and Buck; one click for the

Timberwolf). (see drawing 3). At this point, a BB could be

loaded into the r

eady to fir

e position and your gun must be

handled with car

e. Close cocking lever and your gun is r

eady

to fir

CAUTION: Gun must always be pointed in a safe

dir

ection. Keep a firm grip on the lever while cocking. The

lever could slip and slam shut, possibly causing injury

WHAT IS A JAM, AND WHY DOES IT

HAPPEN?

A jammed gun is one that does not fire a BB when it is

loaded, cocked and the trigger is pulled. It is a dangerous

condition which must have immediate and careful attention.

(See Step 6 for instructions on clearing the jam.) Jamming

can result from:

1. Improper feeding–turning the gun on its side as the muzzle

is raised to feed a BB into firing position.

2. Reusing shot which has been damaged by hitting a hard

surface.

3. Using ammunition not intended for BB gun use.

4. Using dirty shot.

If you follow the instructions for proper loading and feed-

ing, and if you only use recommended shot, your Daisy will

provide many hours of trouble free, recreational air gun

shooting.

Step 4. AIM AT SAFE TARGET

Your rear sight may be fixed or adjustable, depending on

which Daisy lever action gun you have.

The model 105 Buck has a fixed rear sight.

The models 95 Timberwolf and 1938 Red Ryder have

adjustable rear sights.

Raise the rear sight to make the gun shoot higher; lower

the rear sight to make the gun shoot lower.

See Drawing 5 for the proper sight picture for these three

models (Your model may have a fiber optic front sight).

To be a consistent marksman, use the correct sight picture

each time you fire your gun.

CAUTION: Sight or point the gun only in a safe

direction. BBs will bounce or ricochet if they hit a hard sur-

face. Do not shoot at water.

Step 3. FEED BB

Your Daisy has a gravity feed system. To ensure proper

operation, you should always raise the muzzle up while cock-

ing to ensure that a BB rolls into firing position. When raising

the muzzle, be sure the front sight is pointed upward since

the gun will not feed properly if it is on its side. (See Drawing

No. 4).

WARNING: Failure to hold the gun correctly when

feeding the BB may cause the gun to jam when it is fired.

This is a dangerous condition. See Step 6 for instructions on

clearing a jam.

Step 5. TAKE "OFF" TRIGGER SAFETY

When you are certain that the target, backstop and

surrounding area are safe, push the trigger safety from right

to left until red band is exposed.

CAUTION: Keep gun pointed in a safe direction.

Step 6. FIRE

After completing the operation steps, your gun may be

fired by gently, but firmly, squeezing the trigger.

NOTE: A good rifleman squeezes his trigger when on

target, he does not jerk or pull the trigger.

CAUTION: Never carry a cocked gun. Cock it only

when ready to fire. Even with the manual safety "ON" SAFE,

your gun is in a fully loaded condition and must be handled with

care.

CAUTION: If the gun does not fire after loading,

cocking, feeding and squeezing the trigger, the gun is

jammed. This is a dangerous condition which must have

immediate and careful attention. To correct it, keep the gun

pointed in a safe direction, cocking and firing the gun three or

four times. If you are unable to clear the gun, return it to the

Daisy Service Department. (See Repair of Daisy Guns section.)

UNLOADING

WARNING: EVEN IF YOU HAVE FIRED THE AIR-

GUN ONE OR MORE TIMES AND NO BB WAS EXPELLED, IT

DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE GUN IS EMPTY OF BBs.

CONTINUE TO TREAT THE AIRGUN AS IF IT IS LOADED.

Make certain your gun is not cocked by firing in a safe

direction. Put "On Safe." Then open loading door and pour

BBs out. After BBs have been removed, cock and fire several

times in a safe direction.

PROPER CARE

To operate properly, your Daisy BB gun requires mainte-

nance. Simple oiling and cleaning are sufficient. Lack of

maintenance can cause poor performance and could make

the gun unsafe.

OILING: To maintain top shooting performance, you

should add two drops of oil in the "oil" hole (See Drawing

No. 1) every 500 to 1000 shots. Also oil trigger, cocking

mechanism and other moving parts regularly. Use a "20"

weight motor oil. Do not use light weight household-type oils.

CLEANING: The exterior can be cleaned by wiping with a

soft clean cloth. The screws and sights are a gun blue finish

and should be wiped with an oiled cloth to pr

event rust.

STORAGE

Unload BBs and stor

e them in a separate place to keep

them fr

om untrained shooters. Befor

e putting gun away in a

cabinet or gun rack, make sur

e it is clean, dry

, oiled,

unloaded, and uncocked.

MODIFICATION

CAUTION: The components of this gun wer

e engi

neer

ed to deliver optimum performance. Any modification or

tampering with a gun may cause a malfunction and may

make it unsafe to use. Any change in performance, such as a

lower

ed trigger for

ce and shortened trigger travel, indicates

possible wear

, and such gun should be inspected, r

eplaced,

or pr

operly r

epair

ed by qualified personnel. Any gun that has

been dr

opped should be checked by qualified personnel to

insur

e that its function has not been af

fected.

An Introduction

to Daisy

Airgun

Shooting

A MESSAGE TO PARENTS

Although not a firearm, a Daisy airgun is a gun and not a

toy. Properly used and maintained, it will provide many hours

of safe, trouble free recreational shooting. Misused, it can be

dangerous. Therefore, we recommend it be used only under

adult supervision and never by a young person less than ten

years of age. On the back cover of this operation manual are

10 Shooting Safety Rules. We urge you to read them with

your child, practice them and review them often.

As the proud owner of a new Daisy gun, your child has

become part of an American tradition dating back more than

100 years. Mechanically, a new Daisy is backed by nearly a

century of engineering know-how and experience in the man-

ufacture of quality products.

Safe gun handling depends upon proper safety training,

and instilling in your son or daughter the right attitude toward

gun ownership. To help you, we have designed this booklet to

cover the basic facts every young person should understand

before shooting a gun. Take time to study it thoroughly with

your child. A proper understanding of these basics will greatly

increase your youngster's enjoyment of the lifetime sport of

recreational air gun shooting and, at the same time, give you

the satisfaction of knowing your child is properly prepared to

handle an air gun.

We strongly urge a formal course of instruction in

Shooting Education for your child. There are a number of

youth and civic organizations which offer a complete 10-les-

son course based on guidelines developed by the training

experts at Daisy, and they are listed in the section “Learn to

shoot safely” on page 13 of this book. A quick check with

them will let you know when the next course will be starting

in your area. If you would like more detailed information,

write: Special Market Programs, Daisy, P.O. Box 220, Rogers,

Arkansas 72757.

GETTING STARTED

First, you should know that your Daisy is not a toy. It's a

gun. If you use it carefully, it will provide many years of enjoy-

ment. But, if you aren't careful, it can be dangerous.

Second, read this book. In conjunction with the

Operation Manual, it tells you how to handle your new BB

gun properly and how to have the most fun with it. Read it

carefully with a parent and make sure you all understand it.

Then, put what you've learned into practice. And remember,

it's your responsibility as a gun owner to make certain that

anyone using it is instructed in the rules of proper gun han-

dling.

SAFE GUN HANDLING IS THE KEY

TO SHOOTING FUN

If you understand that "HANDLING" your gun means

every time you touch it, and if you remember always to han-

dle a gun as if it wer

e loaded, then you ar

e well on your way

to pr

oper gun handling. A majority of air gun accidents in this

country ar

e caused by 1) car

eless and improper handling of

the gun, 2) believing the gun to be empty when it isn't, or 3)

shooting at impr

oper tar

gets. All three causes can be avoided

if the shooter handles the gun pr

operly

For years we have been teaching the 10 Shooting Safety

Rules. Read, r

emember, practice and review these few simple

rules. They will help you enjoy many hours of safe, fun, r

ecre-

ational shooting.

10 SHOOTING SAFETY RULES

Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

2. Treat every gun as if it were loaded.

3. Only load or cock a gun when you are shooting.

Check your target and beyond your target.

Anyone shooting or near a shooter should wear

shooting glasses.

6. Never climb or jump with a gun.

7. Avoid ricochet.

8. Keep the muzzle clear.

9. Guns not in use should always be unloaded.

10. Respect other people’s property.

It is also very important for you to remember that any

time you receive a gun from anyone, or take a gun from it's

storage place, you should make sure it's unloaded and

uncocked by pointing it in a safe direction and pulling the

trigger.

WARNING: EVEN IF YOU HAVE FIRED THE AIR-

GUN ONE OR MORE TIMES AND NO BB WAS EXPELLED, IT

DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE GUN IS EMPTY OF BBs. CON-

TINUE TO TREAT THE AIRGUN AS IF IT IS LOADED.

Never look into the muzzle of your gun. You can't tell by

looking if your gun is loaded, so always treat it as if it were.

Habits which you form now in handling your new Daisy will be

helpful in the handling of any gun.

THE

OUTDOOR

DAISY

Your Daisy

airgun isn't

designed for hunt-

ing, but you can

still have outdoor

fun with it. It's

easy to set up an

outdoor range

(SEE SAFE TARGETS).

In fact, outdoor shooting is a great way for a young per-

son and his or her parents to have some real family fun and

competition.

When you are carrying a Daisy airgun outdoors, keep the

following things in mind:

• Don't shoot at targets with a hard surface, like rocks or

trees. Your BB could ricochet. Never shoot at the surface of

water for the same reason.

• Always be sure you know where other people are before

you shoot. Make sure they're clear of the target.

• Keep the muzzle always pointed in a safe direction so if you

stumble and fall you can control the direction of the muzzle.

• Keep your Daisy airgun unloaded when you are not using it.

• Indoors or out, it's a good idea for the shooter and anyone

near to wear shooting glasses for extra eye protection. (They

can be purchased at most stores selling sporting goods.)

THE INDOOR DAISY

A Daisy airgun

is safe

for indoor shooting as long as you

observe the proper safety rules. There aren't many, but they

are important. First, you must have at least 5 meters (16.4 ft.)

of space from the firing line to the target. All Daisy Youth Line

air rifles ar

e designed with contr

olled velocity of less than 350

feet per second and ar

e most ef

fective for tar

get shooting at

5 meters. (It takes as much skill to shoot a Daisy on a 5 meter

range as it takes to shoot a .22 on a 50 foot range!) Second,

you must have a safe tar

get (See "SAFE T

ARGET" section)

placed so ther

e ar

e no entry ways in front of the firing line or

behind the tar

gets. If this is not possible, then doorways in

the ar

eas should be blocked. Thir

d, you should have a canvas

or blanket behind the tar

get which hangs fr

ee from the wall

and clears the floor

. This will pr

event ricochet should you

miss the tar

get. Finally

, your target should be well lighted.

Remember to keep

your Daisy unloaded

until the tar

get is up and

you ar

e ready to shoot.

Never point it in any

dir

ection except toward

the tar

get.

If you follow these

rules and combine them

with the other tips on

oper gun handling in

this book, you can enjoy

safe, indoor Daisy airgun

shooting.

NOW GET YOUR BB GUN IN

PROPER POSITION

These simple rules will help you hold your rifle correctly.

(Instructions are for a right handed person–reverse for left

handed person.)

1. Grasp the small of the stock with your right hand.

2. Let the forearm rest on the palm of your left hand (or

on the thumb and fingertips if using the N.R.A. standing

position).

3. Place your left elbow as close to directly under your gun

as possible.

4. Place your cheek as far forward on the stock as possible

without straining and press gently against the stock.

5. Now make sure your Daisy still points effortlessly at the

center of the target. To make sure, close your eyes and

point it where you think the target is. If, when you open

your eyes, the gun is pointing away from the center of the

target, shift your body to correct. Repeat until naturally

centered.

6. Prepare to squeeze the trigger with the first joint of your

first (index) finger.

But don't fire yet!

AIMING (OR SIGHTING)

A Daisy will shoot where you aim it. The trick is holding

the proper sight picture. To do this, think about a lollipop.

Then make the front sight the lollipop stick, and the bullseye

the candy! Keep the top of the lollipop stick even with the top

of the rear sight and centered in the V notch.

Try sighting. Then check what you see against the sight

pictures above.

To be a consistent marksman, use the correct sight

picture each time you fire the gun, and remember - sight or

point the gun only in a safe direction.

HOW TO BECOME AN EXPERT

MARKSMAN

If you learn the techniques, and practice regularly, you

can become a real marksman.

Marksmanship will provide you with a lot of enjoyment all

your life. The tips you'll pick up in this book will get you start-

ed. But you'll learn faster by getting some help from an adult

who is an experienced shooter.

POSITIONS

There are four basic rifle shooting positions and two vari-

ations of each. Learn them all so you will be prepared for any

shooting conditions. The positions are prone, sitting, kneel-

ing, and standing.

Half face to the right before getting into any position.

Then:

PRONE - Lie at an angle of about 5 to 15 degrees to the

line of fire. The left leg should be completely relaxed. The

right leg should angle away from the spine and may be bent

or straight.

KNEELING - Half face to the right, then drop to the right

knee. In the low position, the left foot should be extended as

far forward as is comfortable, while the right leg is flat on the

ground with foot flat and rotated inward, with shooter sitting

on side of right foot. In the high position, the shooter sits on

his right heel.

SITTING - In the low position, cross your legs in front of

you with the outside of each foot resting on the ground and

supporting the knees. Elbows should be placed near the

knees forming triangles to support the rifle. legs are not

crossed in the high position. The feet are well spread, with

the heels braced, and the body leaning forward so the elbows

may be braced over the knees.

STANDING - In the Army standing position, half face to

the right with feet spread about a foot apart. Stand relaxed,

not rigid. The right elbow should be at about the same height

as the shoulder. Your left arm does not touch your body.

In the N.R.A. standing position, you may rest your left

upper arm against your body on your hip.

BREATHING

Breathing at the wrong moment can cause your body to

move, and your aim to go astray. So breathe properly. Here's

how:

(a) Take a long breath.

(b) Let out half. Aim.

But don't fire yet!

FIRING

This consists of two steps: Aiming and Squeezing.

Get your sights in line and watch carefully. As the tip of the

sight arrives at the bottom of the bullseye, gradually

squeeze the trigger. Never jerk the trigger. The sudden

movement will ruin your aim. Trigger squeezing takes prac-

tice. But keep trying. You'll get it down to an art.

Now you are ready to fire.

But wait a moment!

What are you firing at? Where are you firing?

Remember the 10 Shooting Safety Rules - Be sure of

your target before you shoot. Never carry a cocked gun.

Cock it only when ready to fire. Even with the trigger safety

in the ON position, your gun is in fully loaded condition and

must be handled with care.

SIGHTING-IN YOUR GUN

The first step in proper sight

alignment is to determine the shot

grouping of your new Daisy. To do

this, position a rest, such as a table

or bench, 5 meters from your tar-

get. Place your rifle on the rest,

and, aiming at the same point on

the target each time, fire three

shots. Do not attempt to make any

adjustments during the three shots.

At this point you are only interested in how well your shots

group. Once you have determined the grouping ability of you

and your rifle, you can then adjust your sights to bring the

group on target. NOTE: It may be necessary for each per-

son shooting your Daisy air gun to realign the sights to fit

his sight pattern.

HOW TO MAKE AN INDOOR-OUT-

DOOR TARGET

A cardboard box 16 inches or more deep, and with at

least two-foot square front

surface, will serve as the

basis for the target. Center

3 inches of tightly bound

magazines (do not substi-

tute newspapers) on the

inside back wall of the box

opposite the tar

get, and fill

the box with tightly

packed, crumpled news

paper to pr

event ricochet.

Once the backstop is com

plete, tape the tar

get to the front of the box.

Do not use

metal fasteners–ammunition can ricochet. As the tar

get is

used, the backing must be watched closely and should be

eplaced when the ammunition has penetrated half the thick-

ness of the magazines.

CAUTION: Whether you pur

chase a target trap or

make your own, it is important to r

emember that

they will

wear out with continued use. Because of this, you should

always place your backstop wher

e it will be safe should it fail

and check it car

efully before and after each use. A rebound or

ricochet is an indication that the backstop is faulty and that

you should stop using it immediately.

SHOOTING GAMES

Once you've mastered the basics, you can try a few

shooting games like these:

1. TIC-TAC-TOE. Two shooters take one-shot-turns, and

mark each hit. Play like regular tic-tac-toe.

2. MISS-N-OUT. Set up ten targets. Shoot until you miss.

Shooter with most shoots wins.

3. HIT-AND-MOVE-BACK. Each shooter takes one step

back every time he hits the target. Farthest back wins.

IMPORTANT: Be sure you are using a safe backstop

behind all targets!

USE THE RIGHT AMMUNITION

Your new Daisy is designed to use only BB caliber or

.177 caliber ammo. Load your gun with clean, new Daisy

BB's. If dirty, deformed, used BB's, oversized balls or other

foreign objects are used, your gun will not feed correctly and

may jam, possibly resulting in serious injury.

When buying ammo for your gun, be sure to look for this

label: BB cal. (4.5mm) Steel Air Gun Shot

Steel shot will fire at a higher velocity than lead shot

with the same muzzle energy. As a result, more caution is

required when using steel shot because of the greater hazard

or ricochet. Lead, because of its lower velocity, usually has

less penetrating power and is less likely to ricochet.

Remember: Use only pr

oper shot in your air gun, and

do not r

euse shot.

WHEN YOU’VE FINISHED SHOOTING

One of the most important rules of proper gun handling

is NEVER STORE A LOADED GUN. When you have finished

shooting, unload your gun. The Operation Manual which

came with your new Daisy tells you how. Before putting your

gun away in a cabinet or gun rack, make sure it is clean, dry,

oiled, empty, and uncocked. BBs should be stored in a sepa-

rate place to keep them away from untrained shooters.
