    My partner and I drove up on a random weekend in April from Southcoast Massachusetts to meet a stranger in the woods of New Hampshire. And we couldn't have had a better experience! Pete and his muskets are rare treasures. We heard some incredible history relevant to the origins of the muskets, placing them into American history, and enjoyed a tremendous amount of fun learning how to handle, load and fire the muskets. Pete, the host, is so knowleagable, easy-going, full of stories and intriguing anecdotes, and you can tell he's thoroughly adept with giving this experience to the public. No detail was left out. One of us was a little shy around guns, and Pete made the entire visit comfortable, accessible and safety oriented in such a way that all anxieties were gone and the whole experience was a total delight. We were first time vistors to NH, and found the location easy to find and not hard to get to even in the muddy time of year we went. Recommend bringing water and appropriate clothing to be outdoors comfortably for a few hours in the time of year you go. Based on our visit as the only two on that particular day, I would recommend this as a great activity for a small group of friends, couples, and families with older teenagers. 15/10 recommend this one-of-a-kind experience!!

    Super interesting way to learn about history. Got to choose our targets and learn how to load and shot several times.

    Excellent All Around

    Loved it. The host was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable regarding the history of the musket and other similar weapons. Was pleased we got to fire 10 shots each. Really made history come alive. Great for history buffs or people who like to try new things. Would 100% do it again.

    Stepping back in time..

    The sign was hard to see, but the address was correct. Good history lesson and really cool opportunity to shoot a real musket from revolutionary war times. This was our party of four’s favorite experience from our vacation. 18 to 81 year olds.

    Amazing experience!!
