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.

That’s a wrap on the 2026 Trap League season.Yesterday we officially wrapped up another season of Trap League, and what a season it was.We had a phenomenal turnout this year, watched shooters make huge improvements throughout the summer, and saw a lot of great camaraderie both on and off the line.There is also a tremendous amount of work that happens behind the scenes to make a league like this run.This year brought its fair share of unexpected turns, problem solving and negotiating, along with all of the regular organizing that happens before anyone ever calls “pull.”So, a very big thank you to everyone who helped make this season happen.To the people who showed up early to help set up, stayed to clean up, scored and marked, entered scores, helped organize, stepped in when something needed doing, and shared advice, guidance and a few hard-earned trap shooting tips along the way, thank you.That willingness to help each other is a big part of what makes Trap League what it is.We finished things off yesterday with a great day of shooting and a delicious supper, and it was a pretty fitting way to close out a fantastic season.And while League may officially be finished, trap shooting isn’t done yet.The trap range is still open, and some of us will continue getting together on Monday evenings around 4:30 pm while the weather allows.If you’ve been curious about trap shooting but weren’t quite ready to jump into League, this is actually a great time to come out. Things are a little more relaxed, there’s less pressure, and there are plenty of people around who are happy to help you get started.Thank you again to everyone who shot, volunteered, helped, encouraged someone else, or simply became part of the crew this season.We’re already looking forward to seeing what next year brings. ...

CURIOUS ABOUT ORPS? THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO START.We’ve had quite a few new faces and questions about ORPS lately, so with our September Course of Fire now posted, we thought we’d give a little more information for anyone wondering what it’s all about.ORPS, or Outlaw Rimfire Precision Series, is a competitive .22 LR shoot that we run once a month at the North Peace Rod & Gun Club.Each match consists of five stages using different props and shooting positions. Depending on the course, you could be shooting from a barricade, tank trap, ladder, barrel, tires and more.Targets range from approximately 1/2" to 6", at 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards, along with KYL targets. Most stages are between 10 and 12 rounds and have a two-minute par time.It is a little more advanced than simply shooting from the bench, but you absolutely do not need to be an expert to come out.You should be familiar with your rifle and have it sighted in before the match, as there isn’t time to sight in during the competition. There are always plenty of people willing to help, and if you don’t have a shooting bag or some of the gear you see others using, don’t let that stop you from coming out.NEXT MATCH: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20thThe Big Bore Range closes at approximately 11:00 AM so we can begin setup. Anyone who wants to come early and lend a hand is always appreciated.Shooting starts at NOON.This month’s Course of Fire includes a PRS barricade, tank trap, barrel, stepladder and tire pile, with targets from 50 to 100 yards.Bring your .22 LR rifle, ammunition, two magazines, chamber flag, eye and ear protection, and cash for your entry.Ladies and youth shoot FREE.$10 to shoot for fun.$30 to submit a practice score.Want to see what it’s all about before jumping in? Come out and watch a match, ask questions and meet some of the shooters.We also have a dedicated NPRG-ORPS Facebook group where we post the monthly Course of Fire, match information, updates and results. Feel free to join the group and invite anyone you think might be interested. ...
