Around 1934 a group of like-minded sportsmen decided to get together and start a gun club. A charter was applied for and granted under the name "The Mystic Valley Gun Club". The group arranged to purchase a building for the club on the now non-existent Biltmore St in Malden. The club was located approximately where the back of the Malden Government Station "T" stop meets the McDonald Stadium. Many longtime members talk about attending the Juniors Program in the old building. Trophies and plaques at the club indicate MVGC was a very strong contender in the shooting leagues holding competitions in those years.
