    Port Coquitlam Rod and Gun club. I was a member when I lived there. Good facility that has plenty of room for what you are looking for. Its only about 15 mins from the Port Mann.



    Brett- PG has a range just east of town on Hartman road

    -Ridgedale Rifle Range (abbotsford)
    -Abby Fish and Game (Abbotsford)
    -Mission Range
    -Chilliwack Fish and Game

    Mission or Ridgedale would probably be the closest for you. The traffic at the Port Mann bridge can best be described as ridiculous. Poco would be out of the equation for me on account of this. Mission is busier than Ridgedale from what I am told, but has better facilites (more $$$$).

    Check that Noahdawg it's west of town and you need to be a member of the club to get a key to get in (although i don't think it's always locked). I believe the membership is around 70 bucks a year now. They are trying to raise funds to finish the 1000 yard range down the blackwater.

    Mission busy? When? The times I've gone, there have been 1-2 others. Once there was a whole 4 other people.

    Yeah no kidding, Mission, even on weekends, don't get more than 3-4 people on the rifle range (out to 300 yards). I was there last Saturday mid-afternoon and there was nobody there, though the trap field was quite busy.

    Wait till next weekend when they start opening the 300 yard range to the pubic for the pre-hunting season sight in. It will be packed.

    Yeah, it's gonna suck when sight-in season hits... still, I don't think it'll be like the gong show that is PoCo on the weekends. If one isn't there by 10am, you won't be able to get a spot (out of, what, 18?) until someone leaves, and there are generally people waiting in front/after you. I've only been up there once on a Saturday and I'll never go back. The RO's tell me lots of "less experienced" shooters really make things a mess up there..

    But isn't this a good thing....we (collectively) all need practice but if I have to wait a little so that a "less experienced" shooter can get better, then so be it. It is the less experienced that are probably most responcible(yes I am guessing) for the bad PR we as firearm owners get.

    We all learn by doing.
