LONOKE, Ark. – February 12, 2026 – Team Remington’s shooters had outstanding performances at the 2026 Caribbean Classic in Vero Beach, Florida, held February 1-9, 2026. It was a 900-target tournament with 714 registered shooters, of whom 500 entered the Main Event.
Team Remington’s Brandon Powell took High Overall honors at the Lois Neely Memorial event with a score of 95 out of 100, and Todd Hitch took High Overall honors at the Prelim 1 event with a score of 99 out of 100. Hitch went on to earn several more high finishes at the competition. These titles include Runner Up at the Main Event (188/200), Runner Up at the FITASC event (94/50), and Runner Up at the 5-Stand Event (49/50).
“This was a fantastic shoot, the wind made the targets particularly tricky in the afternoons with a slight breeze coming from the east, as a lot of targets got pushed out,” said Hitch. “You never really knew what they were going to do till you shot them.
Although I made a few mistakes that cost me some wins, I was fortunate to finish strong, and I am grateful that my Remington ammo helped me with these achievements.”
“The 2026 season is starting off strong from Team Remington, said Federal’s Vice President of Marketing, Jason Nash. “Remington shotshells are well know for top performances, and with Powell and Hitch behind the triggers, we know many more top performances will result this year.”
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.
