Brightwing Clay Targets proudly announced the successful national debut of its new clay target lineup during the 5th Annual Jack Link's Cup Sporting Clays Tournament, held from February 10–15, 2026 at the renowned Quail Creek Sporting Ranch in Okeechobee, Florida. The weeklong shoot brought together top competitors from across the United States and around the world for six days of competitive shooting.
The Jack Link's Cup is one of the premier events on the National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) calendar, attracting over 1600 registered shooters representing all 50 U.S. states as well as many international competitors. Participants vied for podiums in a variety of discipline-based competitions — from the Main Event to FITASC, Super Sporting, 5-Stand, Sub Gauge and more. These events were shot over multiple diverse courses designed to challenge shooters of all skill levels.
Quail Creek Sporting Ranch — known for its expansive, world-class facilities — offered shooters a rich variety of shooting experiences over the scenic Florida landscape.
For this tournament, Brightwing clay targets were selected as the primary target of the event and were put to the test across the highly diverse and technical courses, from high-flying fast driven targets, to speedy crossers mixed with varying angled high and low speed presentations. Feedback from competitors and officials highlighted Brightwing's consistent flight characteristics, and bright orange paint across the nearly 2 million targets thrown at the event. The performance of Brightwing targets throughout the week garnered attention and praise from shooters at every skill level, immediately establishing the brand's reputation for quality within the competitive shooting community.
"We're thrilled to have Brightwing targets featured at such a respected event," said Patrick Thomas, National Sales Director for Brightwing, "and we're excited by the overwhelmingly positive response from shooters who relied on our products for performance and consistency. We are very excited to finally be getting the word out."
Doug Vine, the shoot director stated, "I am very impressed with the Brightwing clays performance, consistency, color and the target breaks, their customer service has been fantastic, and they are a pleasure to do business with".
