ANOKA, Minnesota - April 15, 2026 - Federal Ammunition congratulates Stuart Brown, Rocky Romo, Mark Vaillancourt, and Melissa Hinton on earning their way onto the 2026 NSSA All-American Teams. The teams were announced during the Triple J Classic held at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, TX.

Making the Open First Team was Stuart Brown and Rocky Romo. Mark Vaillancourt earned his spot on the Open Second Team and Melissa Hinton was named to the Lady First Team. For Stuart Brown, a 2021 NSSA Hall of Fame inductee, this marks his 29th All-American First and Second Team honors.

At the Triple J Classic, Rocky Romo landed on the podium in the 28-ga event. His performance earned him a Runner-Up finish in the Open Division and a championship in the Collegiate Division. Romo, a Junior at Lindenwood University, also finished the four-gun event with Runner-Up finishes in the .410 Collegiate Division and the High Over All Collegiate Division.
