An aggressively fun activity for a bunch of lads, paintballing offers the opportunity to shoot the groom-to-be many times as a gesture of affection. On the South Island, McLeans Island outside Christchurch has a World War II theme with eight outdoor arenas. Beach Assaults, Fortress Assaults and Commando Missions should keep a group of men entertained for hours. 200 paintballs are $50 with $15 per additional 100 paintballs.

With mobile traps and a shooting host included, the company has four locations along the Ngaruroro River where the stag group can set up for a picnic and swim in the river when not shooting. The company will refuse shooting privileges to group members with too much to drink, but are happy for participants to have a glass of wine or a bottle of beer during shooting.
