In the delicate ballet of sporting clays, mastery is everything, and a quartet of Team Remington’s best have secured their place on the 2026 NSCA USA Sporting Clays Team roster. These competitors transcend mere sport; they carry forward a legacy steeped in tradition and resilience, ready to stand for the USA on the global sporting clays stage.

Brandon Powell leads the charge with a calm, fierce authority. Known across the sporting clays landscape as both a mentor and a relentless competitor, Powell recently dominated the 2025 season. With multiple regional victories and two world titles under his belt, his ascent culminated in clinching the High Over All title at this year’s NSCA Nationals, a feat that solidified his role as captain not only of the Sporting Senior Team, but also the FITASC Senior Team.

Then there’s Todd Hitch, a young firebrand from Tennessee whose 2025 summer was nothing short of explosive. At just 22, he outshot nearly 1,300 rivals to seize the U.S. Open title, while also carrying the banner of the 2023 Junior World FITASC Champion. Hitch’s sharp reflexes and steely resolve reflect the next generation of shooting talent breaking through.

Madison Sharpe stands as a steadfast pillar of Team Remington’s legacy. A seasoned veteran and only in her mid-20s, Sharpe has long carved her name into the annals of sporting clays. Her 2025 High Over All victory at the U.S. Open’s Lady’s Main Event marked yet another chapter in her impressive career, exemplifying the poise and power needed to thrive under pressure.

Lastly, Wendell Cherry embodies the timeless spirit of the sport. A veteran with numerous championship titles and multiple U.S. Open wins, Cherry’s steady hand and deep knowledge make him an invaluable asset on the Sporting Veteran Team.

Together, these four athletes wield Remington’s Premier STS and Premier Nitro shotshells, renowned for consistent accuracy and solid performance. As the 2026 NSCA USA Sporting Clays Team steps onto the world stage, they carry not just their own ambition but the legacy of American shooting excellence.

In the grand theatre of sporting clays, where every shot echoes across the woodland and every shattered target tells a story, Team Remington’s stars prepare to etch their next chapter—one flawless break at a time.
