Bob Miller wrote the following description about how the club has evolved over the years and it appeared in the June edition of the Trap; Field magazine in 1992. This was in celebration of the clubs 100 years celebration.

It was 1892 when the Spokane Rod and Gun Club came into existence and the first charter was drawn up. That, however, was not when trapshooting began in Spokane. Among old records is an 1889 program advertising the 15th annual shooting tournament of the Northwest Sportsmen Association. This means that competitive shooting was going on in the area in 1885.
