Ron Carr Memorial
Shooting Sports - Pistol

In fond memory of former Grand Rapids Rifle & Pistol Club President Ron Carr (3/22/1956 - 10/25/2021) who left the club far better than he found it. His contribution to the club, junior shooting sports, and the State Games has been immense and will be everlasting. Those that competed with or against him will never forget his ever-present smile, no matter the result. Ron's passion for precision shooting challenged us all to pursue that ever elusive perfect shot, even in the face of adversity.

Ron Carr Memorial
Shooting Sports - Rifle

We are excited to introduce a new Event to the 2026 Winter Games: .22 lr Rifle!

In fond memory of former Grand Rapids Rifle & Pistol Club President Ron Carr (3/22/1956 - 10/25/2021) who left the club far better than he found it. His contribution to the club, junior shooting sports, and the State Games has been immense and will be everlasting. Those that competed with or against him will never forget his ever-present smile, no matter the result. Ron's passion for precision shooting challenged us all to pursue that ever elusive perfect shot, even in the face of adversity.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Athlete Grab Bag @ 5:00 PM outside of Love & Bicycles

    • Participants of the Games are welcome to come to our Athlete Grab Bag station to pick up our welcome bag for competing.

  • Paralympian appearance by Evan Medell, a two-time bronze medalist in Para Tae Kwon Do in both 2020 and 2024

  • Olympian appearances from Andy Bisek, 2016 Rio Wrestler, and Shane Heams, 2000 Sydney baseball gold medalist

  • Volunteers sponsored by PFN

  • Lighting of the Cauldron

  • Rail Jam Competition

    • The ski and snowboard rail jam competition (register here) as part of the State Games will take place after the lighting of the cauldron.

Evan, who is carrying the Meijer State Games of Michigan torch this year, hails from Grand Haven, Michigan and started competing in Tae Kwon Do in 2008 at the age of 11. Picking up the sport fast, he gained international experience starting in 2015 at World Championships, becoming the youngest athlete to ever compete in the event at the age of 18. Since then, he has earned 2 Paralympic bronze medals, one each at the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Paralympics. This earned him the honors of being the first ever United State Paralympic Tae Kwon Do medalist.

Andy Bisek, an Olympian and two-time World Championship Greco-Roman wrestler representing Team USA. A Minnesota native, Bisek attended Northern Michigan University to join the USOEC. After graduating in 2010, he relocated to Colorado Springs, CO to train at the Olympic Training Center. He won bronze in the 2014 & 2015 World Championships and gold at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto. After competing in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Bisek joined the NMU Greco-Roman coaching staff and is currently the head coach, where he won the 2024 USA Wrestling Greco-Roman coach of the year.

Shane Heams, a 2020 Sydney baseball Olympian and gold medalist. A Temperance, Michigan native, Heams was a key pitcher on the team and helped lead the United States to the top of the podium. He additionally played both AA and AAA professional baseball, notably with the Detroit Tigers affiliate Toledo Mudhens.
