Thigpen, a junior in high school, led a strong contingent from Team Remington at this high-level 4-gun event. The tournament ran April 9-12, 2026.
Thigpen, a teenager from Cuero, Texas won the Open Doubles Championship and was the Open High All Around (HAA) Champion. He finished third in the Open .410 event. “Another great showing by the young gun,” said Remington’s Marketing Director Christian Hogg. “Connor continues his meteoric rise in the skeet shooting world with another resume builder and Remington is his ammunition of choice,” says Hogg. For his 12-ga, 28-ga, and .410 loads, Thigpen relies on STS 9’s and shoots Remington Gun Club 9’s for his 20-gauge ammunition.
Other top performances from Team Remington include Alison Turner taking the top prize in the Open 20-gauge event. Turner won in a shoot-off with thirteen other competitors after shooting a perfect 100 to qualify. Teammate Houston Deshotels finished third.
In the High Over All race, Team Remington’s Sheaffer Stanfill finished on the podium in third place with 155 shooters competing. Alessandro Vitale kicked off the winning way for team Remington with a Triple J Prelim victory.
During the event, the NSSA announced the All-American Teams, and Remington is well represented. In the Open Division, Houston Deshotels leads the way as the First Team Captain, and joining him are Shaeffer Stanfill, Caile Bradham, Nick Ballentine, and Connor Thigpen. Making the second team were Alessandro Vitale, Clay Baldwin, and Sam Armstrong. Alison Turner leads the Lady First Team as Captain and is joined by teammate Lindsay Plesko. Shaeffer Stanfill is the Captain of the Collegiate division, and fellow young gun Connor Thigpen is the Captain of the Junior First Team.
