Never had a problem with airsoft as long as its in the backyard... Its a great training tool especially if your actual firearm is the same as an airsoft counterpart. Gas guns might be noticed and if your neighbors get annoyed it might cause trouble but Electric ones can be quite useful in those cases.

Someone told me (must be true) that backyard archery is not illegal. I searched for legislation but could find nothing. Any knowledge out there?

Took the words right outta' my mouth!

What about spud gun, can I shoot one in my backyard? I'll be using Aqua Net hairspray for propellent.

In Elko about 38 years ago my Cousin was shooting at a bird on the power line with my Air Rifle. Some 7th day adventice (SP) that lived close by saw it and called the cops.
He said it was illegal to shoot any thing that fired a projectile in the city limits.

If you have a garage practice with your daughter in there.
