My name is Melissa Peterson, and I have been shooting since I was about 12 years old. My father served in the US Air Force for 20 years, which happened to be the first 16 years of my life. I was taught the proper respect for guns from day one, but my father also taught me how fun shooting sports can be. I owe the passion that I have for my hobby all to him.

I am an NRA Certified Pistol instructor and Range Safety Officer. I will hopefully be adding rifle to my list of certifications soon.
