Had a really lovely time...

5.00Had a really lovely time here. The whole staff were lovely, but I wanted to particularly highlight my experience with the clay targets. I went shooting with Skinny, who was an absolute barrel of laughs but also a phenomenal teacher. Made my whole trip, I had a great time, especially at a really great value. I cannot emphasize enough that Skinny was just an absolute legend, and I would've made a lot more time for Oxbow as a whole if I had done my research beforehand. I very rarely write reviews, but felt it was necessary to share, recommend to all types of visitors.
Excellent Experience

5.00Such a fantastic experience!! Visited the shooting range with my three teenage boys and we all had a fantastic time. Skinny was the best host. He was so friendly and gave us great instructions so we all had a successful morning. The facilities are great, really well organised and extremely safe. Thanks so much to everyone. Would highly recommend this activity!

5.00My husband and I visited New Zealand for our 1 year anniversary and we had a great time celebrating with adventure. Our instructor Skinny was THE BEST! He showed us expert techniques with a simple explanation and had encouraging and fun energy that had all of us having a great time. I recommend this activity and best if you book Skinny as your guide!

5.00Friendly staff, good safety briefing and excellent tuition. Nick was a great instructor and as a complete novice I was put at ease- I even managed to hit a respectable number of targets. My son is more experienced but also learnt from the coaching. A great experience.
Fun! Safe! Professional!

5.00A totally enjoyable experience. Safety was Oxbow’s priority and their whole set up was professional but also our whole family had such a great time. I expected that maybe one of us might hit one of the clay targets. With Skinny’s advice and assistance all five of us were able to hit many targets which surprised us all. Surprisingly we’re all keen to visit again.
