Jimmy has quite a few rifles, namely the AK47, Mini 14, SKS, Lee Enfield(303, Bolt Action), Swedish, Portugese and German Mousers, A303, 30-06 and WW2 Japanese Rifle.
Jimmy promised Jake that he would take him shooting since he helped us move. I went along. We went to A Place To Shoot
It was a very interesting experience, and I have to say I enjoyed it. Although, I learned a valuable lesson. We have to clean the rifles after we have used them. Man! they took a long time to clean. It was also a very tedious and time consuming job. I told Jimmy that we will only go shooting next time if we have all day to spare. I was helping him clean the 4 rifles that we used, and it took us almost 4 hours. Every single part and compartment has to be carefully cleaned with some chemicals. All in all, the cleaning part was something that I didn't like.
Here are some pictures............
Handguns Range
This is the one for us. The rifles range.
Paper targets are about 75 yards away. The metal targets are in the hills, you can only see them through the telescope. They are far far away.

Me, shooting with the Mini 14. This is actually my favorite piece. It is the lightest of all.I was quite accurate for shooting the first time. I actually hit all the targets, only with this rifle.

Trying out the SKS. 
This was the worst. This is the WW1 British Lee Enfield. A very heavy and powerful rifle. It has a very hard kick. Man it hurt my arm.

Here comes the AK 47! Neat! It shoots 30 rounds very quickly.
Getting a good shot........you know what I mean
