Click image to enlarge and download.LONOKE, Ark. - April 28, 2026 - Team Remington’s Braxton Oliver pulled off a huge victory at the World English Sporting Clays Championship. The North Carolina native defeated many of the world’s best in the Main Event High Over All with an exciting finish in the Super Final. The 29-year-old bested a field of nearly 1,000 shooters to win one of the most prestigious sporting clay competitions. The World English Sporting Clay Championships were held at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, TX, from April 21-26, 2026, and drew a total of 1268 competitors.
“It hasn’t sunk in quite yet,” said Braxton Oliver, the newest world champion in his family. “It’s always been a personal goal and means a lot to my family and me. My grandfather, Larry Corbett, was a 2011 World Veteran English Sporting Clay Champion and a 2015 World FITASC Super Veteran Champion, so it meant a lot to join him and add another world title to the family’s legacy in the sport,” said Oliver.
Oliver entered the Super Final in second place, one target back from the leader. “My whole goal was to keep calm and stay relaxed and see the targets clearly. I told myself if I was going to win, I’d have to ‘go for it.’” With his Nitro 27 HDCP shells (1235 fps,1 1/8 ounce, 7.5 shot) loaded in his Krieghoff shotgun, he broke 19 targets in a tough Super Final course to finish a single target ahead of the 2nd and 3rd place finishers.
“The crowd let me know,” Oliver said of his win after breaking the final pair to solidify his victory. “It is the most significant win of my career, and it will be my goal to repeat and win as many as I can.”
