Quick Summary - Shotgun range with a 14 station course - In the middle of nowhere so use your GPS and follow the signs when you get to the final gravel road (east of Lexington) - $45 for 100 clay targets - Very friendly and helpful staff - If you have never been, don't worry the staff can help you learn the ropes - Golf carts for rent ($20) - Take cash and plastic - Very safety focused (see rules on website) - Great time for family, friends or a company outing - Course has some challenging stations Long Review I felt like shooting some crap so I went and searched for a range where I could shoot some clay targets. Found Claybreakers in Lexington, and entered the address in Waze and headed towards Lexington. This is s shotgun range, no rifles or handguns. The have a 14 course range you can go and shoot clay targets. A shotgun range is golf for rednecks like me, except you shoot the target versus hitting a ball. They even have golf carts you can rent to take you from station to station. This is an extremely fun sport. Claybreakers takes safety seriously. You can find the rules on their website. Bring eye and hearing protection, along with your shotgun and shells. Note, they do sell shells at the store here if you forget to bring any or need more. You need at least two people. They give you a card that you insert into each station. One person in you group has to select the target type and press the button to shoot off the clay target. Each station has two (A and B) target types. read more

I am invited to go dove hunting on opening day but I haven't shot my shotgun in 20+ years. I don't want to make a fool of myself and found Claybreakers on the internet. I phoned and spoke with a gentleman named Terry, who listened carefully. He told me he could to help me. He was true to his word. He reviewed all of the safety issues, took me to the range, watched me shoot, gave me instruction, watched me shoot again and told me what to watch for. I then worked with a young man named Will who was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. After working with both gentlemen I know I won't look like a fool on opening day. Claybreakers has an amazing facility, which I highly recommend. read more

High safety standards, clear safety protocols that are well enforced, pleasant (and interesting!)…read moreoffice personnel. Far more realistic place to train than inside a tidy little box indoors, too! I booked time for a private lesson with Mike Pressley. After spending 40 years as a teacher of both sports and academic things, I have to say that Mike is one of the best teachers and coaches I've ever had the pleasure to study and practice with. His instructions were paced with patience to how I could learn best (aka, ve-e-e-e-e-e-ry slowly, lol). I'd grown up firing long guns with great precision in different scenarios still and moving but that was decades ago. More recently, I'd had some lessons in short gun but from someone I thought was a not-so-great teacher a few years ago, so I asked Mike to start from scratch as if I'd never held a gun before. The more he taught me, minute by minute, the worse that other teacher seemed, and by the end, I knew he'd been a rotten teacher. That's despite the fact that he was a veteran of many years in the police including S.W.A.T. and special operations, but high skill levels do not always equal great teaching ability, do they? By contrast, Mike's instructions were clear, precise, patient, kind, and constantly adapting to the microns of progress I made with each round of five. By the end of our lesson, all my shots were in the center, and for someone who scored a D- in high school geometry, that was darn close to a miracle! Or great teaching. Yep, it was that one, great teaching. I'll be practicing most weeks at this range, and will study again with Mike soon.

I remembered one of my coworkers telling me about a Range in Sophia he wasn't sure the name but remembered triple, so i googled it. Headed down on a sunday , enjoying the drive through the country. Down a long gravel road was I found the check in office, I was met by two Friendly and welcoming people. They assisted me getting checked in/ paying and such and explained the range rules after asking what i would be shooting. They explained in good detail where to head. I headed to the pistol range and showed up at a great time because the range was currently cold and was able to hang my target and converse with some other patrons. Shot some decent groups at 20 yards after not shooting a pistol for 12 years. At check out i was again greeted kindly, i inquired about the ccw classes and went ahead and signed up for that. I will definitely be coming back and can't wait till then.

Having not shot a shotgun in many years, it was a fun experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming to a group of newbies.

All in all, this was a really fun experience. They have several practice stations, and then a set up similar to a golf coarse, going around the grounds to different "holes". All in all it was a great time, and lots of fun. They have all the equipment you need to buy/rent and it's always fun to try something new.

This is a nice park to take kids to for something to do. They had signs saying you shouldn't enter the water in certain places, but people seemed to ignore those. Lots of laughs and splashing heard as we walked around. :) They have several restrooms which were pretty clean for the most part also, which was a good thing. Parking is plentiful, but how close you can park depends on how crowded it is. We were initially directed to an overflow lot but just as we got out of the car, some spaces opened up in the main lot so we were able to move. I believe you can also get on a chartered boat here to go on Lake Norman. Nice place, we will return.

For just $6 you can bring your own kayak, SUP, or canoe to launch on their sandy little beach. Or you can rent one of their kayaks.

You could also very easily just sit and relax here by the waterside or stroll around. But if you want to get on the lake, this is the prime spot. Bird watching along the shoreline is great from the vantage point of the kayak. With a vast array of birdsong to ID, you can even see kingfishers ducking, diving, and doing anything to ruin your chances of proving they exist with a photograph. But at least you can enjoy a quiet and relaxing float to ease the soul.

Signing waivers was easy with multiple desktops available, and there were snacks for sale and a comfortable sitting area for parents to relax and watch. I also really appreciated the clean restrooms -- especially that they had a changing table, which made things much easier with my 7-month-old. I want to give a shout-out to a young girl on staff who was so sweet and attentive to my daughter. She helped supervise the kids and made sure they were having fun and staying safe. Unfortunately, the team doesn't wear name tags and I didn't think to ask for her name, but she stood out! Two male team members also stepped in to help my husband with quick demonstrations and explained how to complete certain obstacles -- which was super helpful. My only small critique would be the limited space for the 1-3-year-old area. It seemed more suitable for children 1 and under. All in all, we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!
