Pitt Meadows Gun Club

What Pitt Meadows Gun Club does

Pitt Meadows Gun Club (PMGC) is a member-supported, 100% volunteer-run shotgun trap shooting club established in 1946 in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. The club operates four American-Style Trap fields and runs open shooting sessions on Sundays (10am-4pm) and Wednesdays (6pm-9pm), along with an annual calendar of registered competitive shoots, youth trap days, seasonal and holiday-themed shoots, a swap meet, and a monthly First Time Shooter Program for newcomers. Its facilities include a log clubhouse with wood-burning fireplace, full kitchen, renovated washrooms, covered 16-yard posts, and mobility-accessible amenities.

The club serves a community of over 300 members aged 12 to 83, with seniors representing 25% of membership and families 16%, plus walk-in public shooters. It generates revenue through annual memberships ($125 individual, $165 family, $105 senior), day passes ($20 public, $10 member-accompanied), shoot tickets at $8 per round (25 targets) or $80 for an 11-for-10 booklet, ammunition sales ($17/box), a $75 First Time Shooter package, and a branded merchandise shop selling apparel and accessories. Distribution is walk-in for shooting and e-commerce for merchandise, with reciprocal arrangements with Mission, Langley, and Ridgedale Rod and Gun Clubs, and affiliations with PITA, BCTA, and LMFV League.

Marketing is community-led via Instagram, Facebook, email, and events such as Pitt Meadows Day. PMGC also maintains conservation partnerships with PittWaterfowlers (Wood Duck Box project, youth waterfowl education) and Burke Mountain Naturalists Society (bat box program) on club property. The organization is private, non-listed, and operates without external investors or paid staff, indicating a community-association rather than commercial business profile.
