LONOKE, Ark. – August 7, 2026 – Fresh off an Alabama State Championship, Todd Hitch will lead a strong contingent of Remington-sponsored sporting clay shooters to Wisconsin for the 2026 NSCA U.S. Open running August 11-16, 2026. More than a thousand of the world’s best shooters will put their clay-breaking skills on full display at the challenging Game Unlimited courses led by Pete Melloy and his staff. The 800-acre facility, located in the St. Croix River Valley outside of Hudson, WI, will be the host of the annual event.
Team Remington comes into the prestigious competition with great momentum following recent successes. Hitch, the defending U.S. Open Champion, has won two Main Events, including the Alabama State shoot and the NSCA North Central Regional held at the Northbrook Sports Club in Illinois. Other team members competing include Braxton Oliver, who recently won the 5-Stand event at the Ohio State Sporting and FITASC Championships and had a memorable victory at the 2026 World English Championships in April.
“Team Remington has a deep roster of very talented shooters,” said Jason Nash, Remington’s VP of Marketing. “With fierce competitors like Mike Luongo, Turner Parcell, three-time U.S. Open winner Wendell Cherry and three-time Ladies Main Event High Over All champion Madison Sharpe along with Hitch and Oliver, we expect many of the top podium finishes at the U.S. Open will be led by Team Remington.”
Team Remington competes and wins with Remington Premier shotshells. Top quality, consistency, and accuracy come standard when trap, skeet, or sporting competitors shoot the iconic Premier STS and Premier Nitro families of ammunition.
