Team Remington just pulled off a hat trick that has the competitive shooting world buzzing: Brandon Powell, Turner Parcell, and Michael Luongo swept the podium at the RC Cup Main Event, claiming 1st, 2nd, and 3rd among a staggering 350 entrants in a grueling 950-target marathon. Hosted at the South Florida Shooting Club in Palm City, Florida, this February 1, 2026, showdown drew over 500 shooters total, turning the range into a high-stakes proving ground for precision and endurance. It’s not just a win—it’s a clinic in dominance, with Remington’s squad outgunning the field in a format that tests everything from split-second target acquisition to sustained focus under pressure.
What makes this sweep more than bragging rights? Remington’s stranglehold underscores the reliability of their platforms in real-world, high-volume competition—think Versa Max and 1100 series shotguns chewing through clays without a hiccup, a testament to engineering that translates directly to defensive scenarios where malfunctions aren’t an option. In an era of anti-2A rhetoric painting firearms as unreliable relics, events like the RC Cup spotlight the skill and innovation driving our community forward. Powell, Parcell, and Luongo aren’t just pros; they’re ambassadors proving that with the right tools, American shooters can outperform anyone, anywhere. This podium lockdown boosts Remington’s street cred, potentially spiking sales and reinforcing why Second Amendment enthusiasts demand quality iron that wins matches and protects rights.
For the 2A faithful, the implications ripple outward: as sporting clays grows—mirroring the surge in training-focused ownership post-2020—this kind of sweep fuels participation, especially among youth and women circuits often tied to these events. It counters narratives of gun culture as fringe by showcasing discipline, sportsmanship, and peak human performance. Expect Team Remington’s momentum to carry into PSCA nationals and beyond, reminding regulators and skeptics alike that our passion for shooting isn’t just about rights—it’s about excellence that no ban can touch. If you’re not shooting Remington yet, the RC Cup just made a compelling case.
