Pete was an excellent host and very passionate about sharing his knowledge about the period firearms and history of their development and use, and also about the stories of people during the era. Artifacts other than firearms were presented that gave additional insight and made the presentation extremely interesting. Pete was very flexible with our group's needs which included one who had never held a firearm, fairly new bullseye pistol shooters, an experienced rifleman, and a post Korean War artilliary vet who had trained using some of the weapons presented and fired that day. Plan on more time than advertised for the session especially if any of your party has their own story to tell about one's personal experience or that of family members relating to the era. Pete truly engages with those who participate and creates an interesting and personalized dialog, not being just a talking head or range instructor when it comes time to throw lead downrange. The range experience was a blast, having opportunity to fire arms platforms that most living today do not (we chose the WWII Small Arms experience).

Pete really took the time to review each of the weapons, its hitsory and personal story of how he obtianed it and who it belonged to. So knowledgable and personable. Loved the option to pick which guns you wanted to shoot from his personal collection. So helpful. I could have listened all day to his stories. Will definitely go back again.

My two boys (16 and 18) had a fantastic time. Pete is fantastic. He is knowledgeable and friendly. He spent some time going over all the different types of weapons and some interesting stories about some of the weapons he has in his large collection. The boys then got to choose the weapons they wanted to fire. He made sure that everyone was safe and was professional. It was a great experience for the whole family. The shop is off the beaten path and is not glamorous when you pull into the driveway. Pete made our day an adventure we will always remember.
