Welcome to Bonanza Rifle Gallery located at the Pacific National Exhibition(PNE) here in Vancouver, BC. I plan to provide you with pictures and some background on this fascinating shooting gallery as I develop this web site.

In the meantime if anyone has pictures that they would like to share showing pictures of the gallery from days gone by I would appreciate your emailing them to be at photos (at) bonanzagallery (dot) com. Thanks!

For now we shall start with some pictures - here are photos of Frank and Dorothy Eastman (both deceased) who set up and ran this gallery from the 1970s through 2005 (the picture of Dorothy at the gallery is from around the late 90s), his ex son-in-law ran it for the summer of 2006 and we bought it for the summer of 2007.

Here are some pictures from the fall of 2006 when I took it over:

 

We added pistols in 2008 and restored the Skunk and Ant targets. Added the singing fish as well.

Fright nights (two weeks leading up to Halloween) are great fun!

Added new lower banner in 2013, banner cooked up by John:
