About The Club

Founded in 1945, the North Peace Rod and Gun Club has been a cornerstone of the Fort St. John community for generations. We’re a volunteer-run, not-for-profit club and a member of the BC Wildlife Federation.

We are advocates for fish, wildlife and their habitats, anglers, hunters and outdoor recreationalists, firearms owners and recreational shooters, and public access to public lands and public resources.

We offer a wide range of shoots, training programs, and events throughout the year, with something for every skill level and interest. From introductory courses to competitive shoots, the club is an active, welcoming place built around the people who show up.

If you’re looking for a place to learn, compete, or just be part of something local, you’ll find it here.

North Peace Rod & Gun Club
44 SHOOTERS. AGES 5 TO 72. THREE GENERATIONS ON THE LINE.I don't think we could have asked for a better way to kick off the very first North Peace .22 Family Classic.When this event was first dreamed up, the idea was actually pretty simple.We wanted to get families shooting together.We wanted to create a place where someone could dust off Grandpa's old .22, bring their kids to the range, teach them something they grew up doing, and maybe start passing those traditions down to another generation.We wondered how cool it would be to eventually see multiple generations of the same family shooting this event together.We didn't have to wait very long.It happened at our very first one.Grandpa travelled to be here. Dad was excited to get his kids involved. And two kiddos showed up absolutely over the moon that they got to compete too.Three generations.One family.All shooting the same event.There was something pretty incredible about standing back and realizing that the thing we had talked about while planning this event was actually happening right in front of us.And they weren't alone.We had 44 registered shooters, many competing in multiple divisions and challenges throughout the day.Our youngest shooter was just 5 years old.Our oldest was 72.Think about that.A five-year-old and a 72-year-old can show up to the same competition, shoot the same day, cheer each other on, and both belong there.That is exactly what we wanted this event to be.We recognized our oldest shooter, our youngest girl at 7 years old, and our youngest boy at just 5 years old.We had three full youth divisions, 7 & Under, 8 to 12, and 13 to 17, and there were some seriously impressive young shooters on that line. We're keeping the kids' names off social media, but they absolutely deserve the recognition.And before we had even finished the day, people were already asking:"When are you doing this again?"People were talking about sighting in rifles.Practising.Bringing friends next time.Bringing more family.That alone meant more than I think we can properly put into words.Because this was never really just about a .22 competition.It was about creating a day around it.The Fort St. John Trappers Association spent the entire day with us sharing furs, traps, demonstrations, a giveaway, stories and an incredible amount of knowledge.A Conservation Officer stopped by with his rig and patiently answered what seemed like an endless supply of questions.The kids had custom wildlife targets they could shoot and take home, a full colouring station, and plenty to keep them busy throughout the day.There were hot dogs, chips, pop, unlimited freezies, Dilly Bars, and an incredible prize table.And then there were the pieces that connected something brand new back to the history of the club.The Wolff family designed and donated our photo booth in honour of their grandfather and the Pioneer Days held at the club back in the 1980s.Decades later, another generation of kids, parents and grandparents stood at that same club making their own memories.I don't think we could have planned a better representation of what "Where Traditions Are Shared and Memories Are Made" was supposed to mean if we tried.And now, the results.2026 NORTH PEACE .22 FAMILY CLASSIC RESULTSOldie But Goodie Open (Iron Sights)1st: Ryan2nd: James3rd: TylerOldie But Goodie Scoped1st: James2nd: Frances3rd: AmandaLadies1st: Carla2nd: Lynn3rd: FrancesOpen1st: Tyler2nd: JamesProduction1st: Robert2nd: Jason3rd: TerryKYL Round Robin ChallengeWinner: JamesHard Luck AwardMelissaOldest ShooterJoeYoungest Girl7 years oldYoungest Boy5 years oldBut those are only some of the people who deserve recognition for what happened Saturday.Because putting something like this together takes a village, and ours showed up in a way that was pretty damn incredible.To say our sponsors stepped up would be an understatement.Businesses donated money, prizes, food, materials, services and support. People asked what we still needed and then figured out how they could help make it happen.And our volunteers?Some of them didn't even arrive planning to volunteer.Some came to shoot.Then somewhere along the way we said, "Hey, can you help us with this?"And they did.Again and again.People built things.Hauled things.Cooked.Scored.Organized.Helped shooters.Answered questions.Cleaned up.Filled gaps.And when something needed to be done, someone seemed to step forward and do it.There is absolutely no version of this event that happens without those people.People competed, laughed, learned, helped each other, challenged each other and cheered for each other.And somewhere in the middle of all of that, this little idea we had about bringing families and generations together through shooting sports became real.That's probably the part we'll remember most.Not the scores.Not who took first.The people.Watching a five-year-old be part of the same event as a 72-year-old.Watching parents teach their kids.Watching grandparents share something they love.Watching people who came to compete turn around and volunteer because we needed another set of hands.Watching our community show up for an event that had never even happened before and believe in what it could become.So to our sponsors, volunteers, organizations, shooters, parents, grandparents, kids and every single person who helped behind the scenes:Thank you.You didn't just help us put on a shooting competition.You helped us prove that there is a place for something like this in our community.And maybe, years from now, some of those five, seven and ten-year-olds who shot with us Saturday will be standing on that same range with their own kids.Maybe they'll pull an old .22 out of the safe and tell them about the first North Peace .22 Family Classic.That's the kind of thing we hoped we could build.And judging by how many people were already talking about practising, sighting in rifles and bringing more people next time...I think we might have started something.North Peace .22 Family ClassicWhere Traditions Are Shared and Memories Are Made.Edge Inspection Services LtdBackcountry - Fort St JohnNorth Peace Rod & Gun ClubRecon EnvironmentalPoor Boy Trucking LTDRapid Wireline ServicesRange to Ridge: Adventures with Kim Rose@Banack Consulting LtdVector Geomatics Land Surveying Ltd@Big Buc Dairy Queen Brazier of Fort St JohnPK Freeze Dried MealsBuick OutdoorsFort St. John Co-opDan's Oilfield RentalsBC Trappers Association@FSJ Trappers Association@Leslie RawsonWild Sheep Society of British ColumbiaBC Wildlife Federation@Big Iron Industries Ltd.@Wild Bear Repairs Ltd.@Alberta Gold Energy & RentalsSignature Sign LinePolka Dot Penguin Toys & Treasures@Charlie Lake Pub & GrillNorth Peace .22 Family Classic | Youth, Families, New Shooters & Friendly Competition ...
