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 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.

What is ORPS?We’ve had a few questions lately about ORPS, especially with some new shooters joining us, so here’s the quick rundown.ORPS stands for Outlaw Rimfire Precision Series. We shoot one match a month at the North Peace Rod & Gun Club using .22 LR rifles.Each match has five stages, generally 10 to 12 rounds per stage. We shoot at 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards, with targets ranging from approximately ½ inch to 6 inches, as well as KYL racks.The Course of Fire changes every month and includes different shooting positions and props, so it’s a great way to challenge yourself and get more comfortable behind your rifle.You don’t need competition experience to join us. You should be familiar with your rifle and have it sighted in at all four distances before match day. There isn’t time to sight in during the match, but there are always people willing to help before or after.Bring at least two magazines, ammunition, a chamber flag, and a bipod or shooting bag if you have them. If you’re missing some gear, don’t worry. We usually have extra bags around and people are happy to help.Cost:$10 to shoot for fun$30 for an official PractiScore resultLadies and youth shoot FREEThe Course of Fire and match updates are posted in our NPRG-ORPS Facebook group, and anyone interested is welcome to join.Our next ORPS match is Sunday, August 16.And if you want some extra trigger time, join us for the North Peace 22 Family Classic on Saturday, August 15 at 10:00 a.m. It’s open to families, new shooters and experienced shooters, with different challenges and lots of prizes.We’d love to see a strong turnout and make the Family Classic an annual event. ...

Courses change every month and have shooters working from different positions and props throughout the match.If you're interested in trying it, you don't need to be an experienced competition shooter. You should, however, be comfortable and familiar with your rifle before coming out.Ideally, bring a couple of magazines and have your rifle sighted in for the distances we'll be shooting. There isn't time to sight in a rifle once the match is underway, but you're welcome to come early and there are always plenty of people willing to help get you set up.Don't have every piece of gear yet? That's okay too. Between everyone who comes out, there are usually extra shooting bags and gear around, and people are more than happy to help new shooters figure out what works before going out and buying everything.If you're curious but not quite ready to shoot, come watch a match. It's one of the easiest ways to see how the stages work, ask questions, and get a feel for what you'll need.We have a Facebook group called NPRG-ORPS, which you can find through the North Peace Rod & Gun Club Facebook page. We post the monthly Course of Fire, upcoming dates, reminders, and match information there.Thanks again to everyone who came out, helped with setup and teardown, and helped our newer shooters throughout the day. ...
