Dad got me a gamo big cat 1250. Started looking today for a quieter rifle to shoot in my backyard. Thinking about getting a daisy 953. Read that they're quieter. I'm pretty sure I can legally shoot in my backyard, I just don't want the neighbors freaking out. Seems like today if you point your finger like a gun you can get into trouble.
Anyway, I am more a reader at this moment because I don't know much about the sport. Figured I'd better learn some before I open my yapper and look like a dummy. The only reason I'm posting is cause I have to in order to be able to read posts haha.
Any advice on a quieter rifle that's not the daisy 953 or Benjamin marauder would be appreciated. Or anything I can do to quiet down my gamo would be cool too.
Thanks for your time.

Greetings and welcome to the GTA!! Instead of being "pretty sure" you can shoot in your back yard I would advise checking the local ordinances. That way you don't have to worry about the neighbors. You should investigate a decent backstop as well.
