ABOUT THE SVRGC
The SVRGC has been a part of the community since its inception. As the municipality evolved and grew up around us, we have evolved to try to meet the needs of the community. Originally a fishing and hunting organization, the Club has grown to include shooting sports, archery, conservation and training.
Incorporated July 30 1942 under the BC Societies Act, we are Squamish's oldest club.
Fishing
The Squamish Valley Rod & Gun Club is proud to be involved with the annual Family Fishing Day. The Club has a history of interest in fishing derbies and has sponsored fly tying as well as rod building courses at its facility in the past. With the abundance of rivers and streams, lakes and tidal waters in or near the District of Squamish, the fishing opportunities are almost endless.
Training
The Club’s interest in hunting and firearms is well known, so it is no surprise that CORE and PAL (Canadian Firearm Safety Course) are regular features in the clubhouse. Click HERE for more information.
Archery
Probably our most active section, archery has grown and now regularly sends young archers to the BC Winter Games. Drop in during the school year (we follow their calendar) on Friday nights at 7:00pm. The JOP (Junior Olympic Program) group meets at 7:30 on Mondays (except holidays) throughout the school year. Adult drop-in is Wednesday evenings at 7:30.
Club Shoots
RIFLE: A fun shoot at varying distances with centre fire rifles. This shoot is meant to improve your shooting skills. If you are interested, it is run on the fifth Sunday of the month at 10:00 am.
22 SILHOUETTE: A style of shooting that originated in Mexico, silhouette will sharpen your shooting skills and is a lot of fun as well. 10:00 am on the third Sunday of the month is when it occurs.
PRECISION RIFLE SHOOT: A shoot designed to test the accuracy of both shooter and rifle system. There are centre fire and rim fire categories. Held on the fourth Sunday of the month at 10:00 am.
PISTOL: First Sunday of every month at 10:00 is when this non-competitive event happens.
TRAP: We have rebuilt our trap range and have regularly scheduled non competitive shoots on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month and the 2nd and 4th Saturdays. Check the calendar for actual dates. We cater to beginner, novice and advanced shooters alike.
FRONTIER FIREARMS: Our Frontier Firearms section currently only shoots rifles of 19th Century design using lead cast bullets with a velocity of 1500 fps or slower. Typically .357, .44 or 45 caliber, but not limited to that. We shoot steel targets between 50 and 125 yards using open or iron sights only. The future plans are to open to all cowboy action shooting.
PRS22 Rimfire: We occasionally host sanctioned NRL22, PRS22, or outlaw club matches. PRS is the fastest growing shooting discipline in North America, where competitors aim to hit challenging targets at varying distances, under timed conditions, and across diverse terrains. If you are interested in attending or spectating a shoot, please check our calendar or contact our PRS - Rimfire Director (via Contact page).
