5.00Such an amazing clay shooting experience - easily one of the best things to do in Rotorua. Everything was well run and so much fun. Peter was an incredible instructor - patient, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel at ease. We even had the whole place to ourselves, and the view from the hill was beautiful. The added buggy ride to the location really amped up the thrill too. Highly recommend!
