1.Clay Target Shooting Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 29 reviews · 45 min · from $89Our pick

At Oxbow Gun Club, about 30 minutes from Queenstown, you get a 45-minute clay target session with safety instruction, protective gear and coaching tailored to your ability. Six people shoot at a time from separate stands. Instructors who have led sessions include Skinny and Tim, though your guide may differ.

“Really impressed with how fun this was and how well we did for our first times shooting. We had Skinny looking after us and he honestly made the whole experience. You could definitely tell he used to be a teacher as he was so patient and had great advice for improving our techniques - I went from missing practically all of the shots to hitting all of them by the end. He really went out of his way to make sure we had a great time.”
