Team Winchester and Team White Flyer to Compete at 2026 Jack Link’s Cup

CLAYTON, MO (February 3, 2026) — Winchester^® Ammunition and White Flyer^® sport shooters are kicking off the season at the 2026 Jack Link’s Cup February 10-15, 2026. Held at Quail Creek Sporting Ranch in Okeechobee, Florida, the Jack Link’s Cup has quickly become one of the premiere sporting clays events drawing talented sporting clays athletes from all over the world.
Coming off an incredible season in 2025 that saw Team Winchester and Team White Flyer member, Mike Wilgus, win the NSCA National Sporting Clays Championship, Team Winchester is ready to start the 2026 season off strong. Wilgus took top honors at the National Championship shooting the AA Diamond Grade Elite Trap target load, 1 1/8 ounce, 7 ½’s at 1250 fps.
Team Winchester and Team White Flyer compete with Winchester AA^® target shotshells. The AA loads use lead shot alloyed with antimony making them the hardest hitting loads on the market. Combined with AA wad technology and best-in-class primer and powder, AA shotshells provide the most consistent patterns, shot after shot making it the Choice of Champions for all clay shooting disciplines.
New for 2026, the AA^® Super Spreader^™ line has expanded to include a 12-gauge offering with a 1-ounce payload. Winchester AA Super Spreader loads utilize a hinged wad and specialized shot column that allows for a rapid but uniform spread once the pellets exit the barrel. Shooters will experience 70% larger patterns at 20 yards versus standard loads.
Winchester target loads, including the new AA Super Spreader, will be available to competitors on site and White Flyer targets will be the dominant brand used during this prestigious event.
