The '150 yard rule' applies to *hunting*, be it with airguns, shotguns, handguns or rifles. Hunting regs treat them the same in this case. For all I know it applies to archery as well. If you're hunting, you need the safe zone. Or so says the Fish Cops (DFG).

As I'm told, you can be target shooting in the backyard (provided local laws allow this), but if you shoot at something (or even could be shooting at game if it came say to the feeder) that would be hunting ("attempting to take game") and you'd be busted. No expemption for airguns. You're hunting birds or mammals in California, you need a license and you need to follow all the laws....even in your own back yard. And as of 15 years ago or so, any Peace Officer in the state can cite you for it, it no longer takes a Fish Cop.
