Fiocchi of America, a premier manufacturer of defensive, target, and hunting ammunition, proudly announces a commanding start to the 2026 NSCA sporting clays season by its Pro Team. Competing at some of the year's most respected events, Fiocchi shooters demonstrated precision, composure, and championship-level execution against the nation's strongest fields.
Across these high-profile competitions, athletes relied on Fiocchi's White Rino loads from the competition line — precision-engineered shotshells built to deliver uniform, shot-to-shot consistency when margins are measured in a single target.
Caribbean Classic
Vero Beach Clay Shooting Sports | February 1–9
The Caribbean Classic drew 694 of the country's top sporting clays competitors and immediately set a high competitive bar for the 2026 season. Fiocchi's Pro Team answered with a series of decisive performances.
Kiersten Sales delivered one of the most comprehensive displays of the tournament, capturing the Main Event Lady Championship while also securing Main Junior Runner-Up honors. Her dominance extended across disciplines, earning Lady Champion titles in the prestigious Louis Neeley Memorial, FITASC, Super Sporting, and 5-Stand events, along with the FITASC Junior Championship. The breadth of her victories underscored both technical versatility and competitive endurance.
Bill McGuire added to the momentum with Veteran Championship titles in both the Preliminary Event and the Louis Neeley Memorial. His performances reflected seasoned discipline and the kind of steady execution that defines championship-level competition.
Arizona State Championship
Pinnacle Shooting Sports | February 4–8
At the Arizona State Championship, Chad Roberts reinforced Fiocchi's early-season presence by earning the Main Event M2 title in the Out-of-State Division. Competing in a strong regional field, Roberts demonstrated the focus and consistency required to rise above a crowded leaderboard.
"These early-season performances reflect preparation, discipline, and confidence at the highest levels," said Holly Hammond, Senior Manager of Shooting Sports. "Our Pro Staff competes with intent, and they rely on equipment that performs without compromise. The consistency of our Competition Line ammunition gives them the confidence to execute when it matters most."
As the 2026 NSCA season accelerates, Fiocchi's Pro Team has established more than momentum — it has set a standard. With ammunition engineered for uniformity, reliability, and elite-level performance, Fiocchi continues to support competitors who demand precision every time they step to the line.
