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.
