Summary: 5/5 stars. Pete was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. He has ton of cool historical artifacts and guns.. Shooting the m1 garand, the German Luger, the Kp-31 , and the .30 cal belt fed was the icing on the cake . Definitely going back.

Summary: The WW2 Small Arms Experience was fantastic. Pete is extremely knowledgeable about arms of that era and an engaging story teller. We went a little bit long on the presentation (lecture) portion, but didn't notice, because it was so informative. If Pete ever became a professor, all of his classes would be packed! Pete also listens, in addition to talking. When he found out my son (who was with me) recently emerged from USMC, he had many (non-classified) questions for my son regarding how things work currently. I would recommend this for gun enthusiasts and novices alike. Of course, shooting the weapons was certainly a blast (pun intended).

Summary: My wife and I went on this excursion yesterday. We were both impressed by not only the knowledge but his presentation skills about wars. The shooting is incredible. Any gun enthusiast needs to go to this experience. Thanks again Peter. Joe and Sue.
