We did this with a group of friends and had heaps of fun! If you ever wanted to shoot some big guns then this is for you! We all bought the $100 package which turned out to be worth it as we got to shot 5-6 different guns. Even the girls liked it!!

While quite an expensive activity I would definately take my partner again (and maybe have a go myself) he loved it. The guy who was there was very helpful and friendly.

My wife and son did an introductory pack course and loved every minute of it. The staff are professional and courteous, and explanations and safety were very thorough. Our only complaint was the March Fly infestation which made concentrating on aiming very frustrating, however we have been told this happens only for a few days a few time per year.... More

Took my 20yo and 14yo sons to do some shooting! Staff were extremely helpful and professional, and also very informative. The boys say it was the highlight of their holiday (despite other trips we did).

The fact you can relax and have a beer onsite afterwards. You hit the golf balls into the water, and try to land one on an island. It's difficult.

Husband and son had a great time trying to get a bullseye. They took the full package and used a variety of different guns. Enjoyed the experience.

My husband and I's experience was great: friendly instructors, good fun, reasonable value, something to remember. But be warned: the shooting range (less a range, more of a shipping container) is out past the airport and is too far to walk (hilly). We got the orange bus, but couldn't get on the first TWO that came as they were full.... More

I grew up around guns (not from my family, but living on the prairies of Alberta, everyone had a 22). My father in law is a hunter, but our boys have never handled anything beyond their pellet guns (plastic pellets .. Air soft) So when it rained on our first day, we headed to the range to let the boys... More
