Team Remington’s Hitch and Sharpe Run the Table at Sporting Clays U.S. Open
Click image to enlarge and download.LONOKE, Ark. - May 5, 2025 - Remington Ammunition congratulates sponsored shooters Todd Hitch and Madison Sharpe on winning Main Event titles at the U.S. Open for sporting clays. The dynamic duo bested their classes in a very competitive field of nearly 1,300 total participants. The U.S. Open is unique in that it moves to different locations each year allowing increased regional participation. This year’s event was held at Providence Hill Sporting Club in Jackson, Mississippi and ran from April 28-May 4, 2025.
Todd Hitch won the Main Event High Over All, defeating nearly 1,100 shooters vying for the title. Hitch says he had to overcome a few early nerves on the first day and the first three stations on the final day. “This win means a ton for me, after coming so close last year and finally being able to seal the deal is a feeling I’ll never forget,” said Hitch.
“The weather was great all week and the targets were set well,” said Hitch. His load of choice in winning the Main Event High Overall and a Prelim was Remington’s Nitro Sporting Clays 1 1/8-ounce loads at 1300 feet-per-second in 7.5 and 8 shot. “I shot 95 percent 8s throughout the week. Nitros hold their pattern so well it gives me confidence to shoot 8s at longer distances as long as the target is showing face,” said Hitch.
Team Remington’s Madison Sharpe also had an event to remember. The South Carolina native won an astounding nine events including the Lady’s Main Event High Over All. What is even more amazing, the 24-year-old hadn’t done much practicing leading up to the U.S. Open. She was in the turkey woods chasing the grand slam and came into the event refreshed and relaxed.
“While I was hunting, I was focused on visualizing targets and the mental aspect of the competition,” said Sharpe. “I shot with no fear.” Sharpe says she is heading to Wyoming to hunt her Merriam’s turkey before it's back to giving lessons and training in preparation for a June regional competition.
Other Team Remington results including a 20-gauge event High Over All win from Brandon Powell, and a runner-up finish by Turner Parcell in the Super Sport event that had 984 participants and a runner-up finish in the 12-gauge event with a field of 403 shooters.
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.
