SWMTU & RGS Cast n' Blast 2026

The Grand Rapids Chapter of the Ruffed Grouse Society and Schrems Trout Unlimited is hosting our annual Cast n' Blast with proceeds supporting both organizations’ youth educational programs. This year’s event will be “Bigger than Ever,” featuring thirty 4-gun teams.
Following the 50-shot sporting clays course, participants can test their rod handling skills on a fun but challenging fly-casting course. A prime rib dinner will follow a social/happy hour that includes complimentary craft beer from a local brewery. A raffle including many cool items follows dinner.
Novice shooters and casters are welcome! We will have expert instruction on the fundamentals of each sport. This event is open to the public.
Fly rods will be available for the casting competition, but each shooter is responsible for their own shotgun and shells. Shotguns are available for rent from KCCL for a nominal fee.
