WHO ARE WE?

Our mission at Break One is to share our passion for Clay Target Shooting.

As a family run business, it’s important to us that we continue to provide the best experience in a sport that we enjoy. We pride ourselves on offering a unique and action-packed activity to visitors and locals alike, which all walks of life can enjoy!

Break One has been operating a professional Clay shooting range since 2004. Today, we can proudly say that we have taken over 100,000 people Clay Target shooting since we opened almost two decades ago.

Our range is New Zealand Police certified, the safety of our customers and staff is ensured by the high standards of our safe operating procedures and 15 years of commercial experience and operation.

WHAT IS CLAY TARGET SHOOTING?

The sport of Clay Target Shooting or Clay Pigeon shooting (if you are from the Northern Hemisphere) was started in the late 1860’s as practice for real game shooting and is an Olympic and professional sport in many countries around the world.

Clay target shooting is the art of shooting at special flying targets known as clay targets or clay pigeons with a shotgun. These are thrown from a ‘trap’ or machine and come in a variety of forms simulating the flight of a duck or pheasant or the run of a rabbit.

WHY SHOOT WITH US?

Here at Break One Clay are lucky enough to call Queenstown Hill our home – boasting spectacular views of Coronet Peak and Lake Wakatipu, we truly are in a ‘remarkable’ place! Our range on Queenstown Hill Station has arguably some of the best views enjoyed by any Clay target Shooting range in the world.

We are only 15 mins from Queenstown’s Centre. On top of this are also one of the very few providers of clay shooting with full instruction, no experience necessary.

Your experience with us starts by getting kitted out with all the  equipment needed to safely enjoy your shoot, then it is straight into an instruction on the art of Clay Shooting with one of our experienced instructors. 

For the first time shooter or seasoned shooter we offer all of our clients an unparalleled experience to the addictive sport of Clay Target shooting.

EXPERT INSTRUCTORS

Our experienced instructors have years of experience shooting clays, and are able to offer expert one-on-one tuition and coaching to guarantee everyone hits a target!

Our small instructor to customer ratio ensures that this is a personal experience tailored to suit you.

EXPERT EQUIPMENT

The use of Beretta 12 gauge semi-automatic shotguns, with low recoil ammunition and a special stock (or end of the gun) dramatically reduces any recoil. Our guns are designed to fit and work well for any level of shooter.

Great tuition from Tom, exceeded our expectations and great location up in the hills. There was something for all levels and we’ll definitely be back again!

The activity was super organised and ran smoothly. Instructor Blake was awesome- professional, knowledgeable, friendly, super encouraging and so engaging.
Would totally recommend Clay Shooting as a must do in Queenstown

Andrea via Facebook | July 2024

Was a great activity! Blake was a wonderful tour guide/shooting instructor. I even managed to hit the targets - 15 out of 24 shots! Not to bad for a first timer!

Amy via Facebook

My family (including a 13 and 16 year old) had zero experience in shooting targets and with Blake's instruction we were all hitting targets from multiple directions/angles. I would recommend this experience to anyone novice to experienced looking to have some fun in a beautiful location with an experienced/safe/fun instructor.

Blake was helpful, safety conscious and we had a few good laughs. Something to tick off the bucket list!

Leanne via Facebook Review

Having never used a gun before, Blake offered expert guidance and assisted my wife and I in a fantastic new experience!

One of my favourite tourist operators in New Zealand. Blake and Innis were amazing hosts and elevated the experience from what would have been a fun day out into a legendary story for our 14 strong Wedding Party.

Awesome experience for my son and I. Blake was a fabulous instructor who had the patience and coaching at the right level to make this one of the best days of our holiday in NZ. We will definitely do this again and bring the whole family.
