Was the only one that had a bb gun, and yes it was a red ryder. Still have it today. You can actually watch the bb shoot from the barrel and arc to the hit the target. Got good enough I could shoot the stems of dandelions. Brother got shot in the leg by other brother. The bb didn't come out till years later. BBs were expensive, like little golden balls.

Oh yeah! bottle rocket and firecracker wars! The only fireworks we were afraid of were actually called Nigger Chasers. Actually had a bottle rocket land in my paper grocery sack of ammo, 800 firecrackers all separated for throwing. Dropped it and ran...it made a fireball about 10 ft in diameter with firecrackers going out in all directions. Just beautiful. Left a huge paper pile when done. We spent the rest of the day trying to get it to do it again.
