Cast n' Blast 2025 - SWMTU & RGS

Schrems West Michigan Trout Unlimited and the Grand Rapids Chapter of the Ruffed Grouse Society are once again co-sponsoring the annual Cast & Blast. This will be the 15th year for this annual event which is not only a “blast” but a fundraiser to support both organizations’ youth educational programs.

This fun-filled, no-pressure event includes a 50-shot round of sporting clays and a fun but challenging fly-casting course. A prime rib dinner will follow a social/happy hour which includes complementary craft beer provided by a local brewery. A raffle including many cool items follows dinner.

Novice shooters and casters are welcome! We will have expert instruction of the fundamentals of each sport. Everyone is welcome and you do not need to be a current member of either organization to attend.

Fly rods will be available for the casting competition but each shooter will be responsible for their own shotgun. Shotguns are also available for rent from KCCL at a nominal fee. Shotgun shells are NOT included.

Registration: The shooting event is limited to 65 guns or 13 five-person teams. Please register online as an individual or team on the event page at swmtu.org.
