Re: Shooting a BB gun in back yard

BBs bounce off every hard surface. (Don't ask me how I know.)

A box of wet newspaper is a pretty good backstop for BBs, but it falls apart and rots.

Airsoft or paintball is less potentially harmful but more expensive.

Re: Shooting a BB gun in back yard

Straw is cheaper, it doesn't rot, and fewer animals will eat it.

Re: Shooting a BB gun in back yard

Unless you are real friendly terms with a police officer, no one will tell you that it is allowed.

Look up the ordinances on your city's web site. If they are not online, you will have to go to city hall or maybe the library to examine them.

Most municipalities prohibit BB guns and air guns, but at worst it is a class C citation. If you keep your nose clean, no one will know or care.
