Clay Pigeon shooting is available seven days a week, located at Terrace Downs High Country Resort on the banks of the Rakaia River Gorge near Methven.

Newzengland cater for all ages and levels, from the complete novice to the very experienced shot. Whether you have seen a gun or not, clay shooting can be a sport for all. We have guns suitable for ladies, men and children (age and build dependent). Six automatic clay traps offer a variety of targets.

Have a go with your mates, family, work colleagues, and see who the best marksman is. Challenge them to a clay shoot out and see who claims the most hits.

We run a friendly clay shooting ground, set in beautiful countryside with expansive views of Mt Hutt and the Canterbury foothills. A large part of the experience is the sheer awe at the stunning scenery which unfolds as you exit the forest walkway into the activities area. The excitement of a clay smashing for the first time is right up there too!



As well as catering for Clay bird shooting, we offer Archery in a pine forest range, and a Mini Olympic Challenge which combines clay bird shooting, archery and your chipping skills with a golf club, a great competition with your mates or family – perfect for hen and stag parties.
