Everything you need for the ultimate day on the range.
Loaded NZ is more than New Zealand's largest clay target shooting field - it's a complete experience, with first-class facilities set in one of the Bay of Plenty's most spectacular rural locations. Here's what's waiting for you.
the shooting field
Spread across 500 acres of rolling farmland, our range is built for variety and challenge. Three unique shooting stands, each with six different target presentations, recreate the unpredictability of real-life game shooting - climbing, crossing, diving and rolling clays that keep every shooter on their toes.
It's a layout that gives beginners an achievable, exciting introduction and gives experienced shooters the range of shots they crave. And wherever you're standing, the views across the Bay of Plenty countryside are hard to beat.
the lodge
When you need a break from the line, our comfortable lodge is the place to be. Inside, a warm indoor fireplace and spacious entertaining areas make it the perfect gathering spot - whether you're debriefing after a round or settling in for a corporate function.
Step outside onto the large outdoor deck, which looks straight out over the range and the rolling farmland beyond. It's the ideal place to relax with the group, compare scores and soak up the scenery.
