The Pitt Meadows gun club will not be operational this weekend so the shoot will be moved to VGC. Please let your fellow shooters know.
The 2017 Grand Pacific tournament will be held at the Spokane Gun Club, July 23-29. We hope you can attend this premier trapshooting event. CLICK HERE FOR THE SCHEDULE OF EVENTS.
You can WIN FREE entry at the Grand Pacific – click HERE for all the details. NOTE: program change (pg 22): Ticket sales have been great so we will be doing a couple of the drawings early so the winners can prepare for their trip to Spokane Gun Club. The number of tickets sold by June 15th will determine the number of drawings held at that time (i.e. if 600 have been sold we will draw 3 winners). CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FIRST TWO WINNERS: Rudy Martinak and Lisa Salt. Tickets are still available – only 1,000 will be sold – buy more than one ticket for multiplex chances. Entry fee prize may be transferred. The next drawing will occur when 600 tickets have been sold (at 538 as of 6/18) with another drawing to follow when 800 tickets are sold. Contact the PITA office or Rusty for tickets.
