LONOKE, Ark. – August 12, 2025 – Team Remington dominated the NSCA North Central Regionals held at Game Unlimited in Hudson, WI. Remington Ammunition captured seven event titles, including Brandon Powell’s victory in the Main Event over teammate Todd Hitch by three targets. In total, 700 shooters competed under challenging conditions with rain, wind, and mud following summer storms that added to the challenging courses set by staff at the premier sporting clay destination in the Badger State. The North Central Regional ran August 5-10, 2025.
Brandon Powell’s summer of superiority continues with his second of five NSCA Regional Main Event wins in 2025. Earlier this summer, he won the Northeast Regional in Ohio. Besides the Main Event High Over All, Powell won the Super Sporting High Over All and placed fourth in the FITASC Competition.
Todd Hitch also had impressive performances at the North Central Regional. Hitch bested a field of 440 shooters in the FITASC event, was second in the Main Event and 5-Stand competitions, and was fourth in Super Sporting. The Prelim event was won by Braxton Oliver, who also finished in the top three in the 5-Stand competition.
Rounding out the exceptional performance by Team Remington is Mike Luongo. The South Carolinian swept the .410-, 20- and 28-gauge events. “The targets were very challenging. They wanted to test the shooters with tough angles, varying speeds, and specialty targets,” said Luongo. He credits his uncle for his sub-gauge success. “He never let me shoot a 12-gauge until I was 16 years old, so I started on the little guns. He was into it, so I did it with him, and I’ve always had a passion for shooting small gauge guns, and it’s one of my favorite things to do.”
Luongo also credits the performance and engineering of his Remington ammunition. Because it is legal to gauge down in an event and due to luggage capacity when traveling, Luongo won both the 20- and 28-gauge event with his 28-gauge barrel and ammunition. “I didn’t feel disadvantaged because in my opinion, the 28-gauge load I shoot from Remington is the best patterning shell on the market. It may have fewer pellets, but it has more efficiency,” said Luongo. Mike stocks his shooting vest with Remington’s Premier Nitro Sporting Clays in .410, 20, and 28 gauge.
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.
