About Carodale Country Estate, Clay Target Shooting

A private clay target shooting range at Carodale Country Estate, on Weranui Road in Wainui, about 30 minutes north of Auckland.

Bookings are essential, and the range is closed on Sundays.

Group bookings are $100, $90 or $80 per person depending on the option, and the Ultimate Fun package is also offered for groups at $175 per person. Individual coaching and tailored events are priced on application.
