Capping a season of success on the firing line, Team Remington sporting clays pro shooter Todd Hitch recently posted a historic victory for the United States.

Hosted at the Somontes Shooting Club in Monte de El Pardo, which is located outside of Madrid, Spain, the annual King’s Cup attracts top sporting clays shooters from around the world for a grueling two-week shoot.

After a 23-person shoot-off, Hitch took home the trophy, becoming the first American athlete to win Spain’s King’s Cup since the competition began in 1875.

Team Remington shooters compete with Remington Premier shotshells. Remington said that “Nitro 27 and Premier STS set the standard for competition trap, skeet and sporting clays ammunition the world over.”
