Pete’s Gun & Tackle Inc

Staff is incredibly rude, store is dirty and completely disorganized. I went in to ask about a firearm I’ve been looking for. The person behind the counter seemed bothered that I was there, sighing before answering my questions and rolling his eyes like a child. Don’t know how you can afford to treat a customer like that, especially at a run down dump like this place. I’d rather spend twice as much somewhere else than give you my business.

I remember coming to this place when I was just a kid when my dad needed to sell his 12 gauge I remember thinking they ripped him off. Coming back here as an adult to buy a new firearm I couldn’t believe how much they wanted for there guns half of them where dirty and old don’t settle for Pete’s there are allot of new gun stores out in Hudson now

Great family run business. I have been going here for 20 years. If you like the outdoors they have a lot to offer. Unfortunately they no longer register boats but there is a place in Hudson that does named Irwin Marine.

I read the other reviews here and I can see truth in all of them… but I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yes, Pete’s has been there for a long time, and yes it is disorganized, and yes, the locals «hang out» there as though it is a local saloon (not referring to booze as a hang-​out place to shoot the bull), chewing the fat sharing hunting /​fishing stories. It is laid back, and perhaps a tad disorganized… but that is also the beauty of the place. You can go in, poke around, fondle the firearms, find some odd things on the shelves that might have been there for decades… and believe me, that in itself can make the place a saving grace. (finding some old accessory for your old reloader or something similar) Pete’s isn’t a place you rush into and go through the alphabetized shelf tags to find something… it isn’t even a place that has a website. (OK, they have a website, but it looks to be something like a standard issue from doing a new firearm look-​up at a distributor like Davidsons, etc… useful, but with no up to date info on in-​stock or used items) But Pete’s isn’t about speed and efficiency… it is about human to human interaction and support. (no, this isn’t the south… so people there or anyone in New England don’t spontaneously chat you up… but hit them up with a question and I found there people there are happy to chat and answer it)

Pete’s Gun & Tackle has been in Hudson for what seems to be forever. Its the log cabin located down the street from Wal-​Mart where the road forks.
This place is run down, the outside looks like it hasn’t been updated in decades. Looks run down, there is probably only a dozen or so parking spots. With the current craziness of firearms this place gets busy fast, with people coming in and out.
The inside insist any better, overpriced merchandise covered with layers of dust. Which doesn’t seem to have any sort of organisation to it. Layout is weird I don’t understand what is going on with the chairs in the middle of the store. The counters are cluttered with junk, paperwork, boxes, random merchandise which just seems to be left unattended. Would it kill them to replace the carpet, the stains on it look older than the building itself.
I doubt many people come here for hunting supplies. If your like me your coming here to check on availability on ammo and guns. The prices aren’t too bad on ammo, more expensive than Wal-​Mart but cheaper than your typical gun range. The selection of handguns isint the greatest and that was back when they had merchandise to sell! If you know anything about the current gun market right now some guns are hard to get.
Everytime I come here the old lady is always sitting down with her feet perched up shooting the breeze (you would not think she works there). The regulars who come here and treat the place like their local saloon or personal hangout to talk it up with the owner, rather then help customers he would rather the old lady who doesn’t seem to know much about guns or what is currently instock help us out. Assuming your not chummy with the owner. Lame
I’m only giving it 2stars because having a extra store to buy ammunition right now is important to me.
