Went with my WW2 history-buff son and had a wonderful and interesting time. Peter, our host, was very friendly and filled with stories and knowledge about his astounding collection of period weapons. Seriously, British Lee–Enfields, Russian Mosins, German Karabiner 98k, American M1 Garand and carbines and Japanese Arisakas to name a few. All in beautiful condition. Indeed, we got to shoot most of these (sadly, some have ammunition shortages right now) in addition to a M1919 Browning 30-cal MG, a Suomi KP (Finnish burp gun), lugers, hi-powers and 1911s etc. While Peter’s shooting range is being worked on, it is safe and in my opinion he is very safety aware and was always close to and in charge of those handling loaded weapons (I mean we’re talking about full auto submachine guns here). Peter is unlikely to allow any jackassery on his range. In short, this a great option for history buffs and firearm enthusiasts. If you, or some of your group are neither of these. No worries, Peter is a kind, fun and understanding guy and worked well with my wife who is not a WW2 history nerd and had never fired a gun. Finally, please remember that the backwoods vive of the place is of the “likes their space” sort rather than the “stay the hell out of my space” variety. Indeed, you will quickly feel welcome and amazed once you enter the shop. .

Pete took a great deal of unhurried time teaching and discussing both common period weapons and many I didn't know about. I got to choose which weapons I got to fire. Pete is both knowledgeable and down to earth. One of the most enjoyable experiences of my life.

everything is perfect. the guy was really nice, generous and interesting. not only did we do the activity but we also had the right to a history lesson on the second world war and a lesson on the history of all the weapons that it possesses. really interesting, recommended to everyone!
