Team Federal Shines at Superstition Mountain Mystery 3-Gun Match

Wednesday, April 14th, 2021

ANOKA, Minnesota – April 8, 2021 – Team Federal had an excellent showing at the 25th Anniversary of the Superstition Mountain Mystery 3-Gun Match held at Rio Salado Sportsman’s Club in Mesa, Arizona. Federal Ammunition was a premier match sponsor for a third consecutive year. This large event brings together the nation’s top 3-gun shooters and is the longest running 3-Gun match in the country.

Federal Ammunition Brand Ambassadors Dakota Overland and Josh Froelich performed very well. Overland won High Junior and High Lady in Tactical 3-Gun Division. Josh Froelich won 4th Place in the Open Division. “This competition was ideal for testing equipment and shooting skills with a mix of long-range targets along with close-up, fast-paced shooting requirements. Shooters really had to have their gear and skills tuned in for this match,” said Froelich. “I was dialed in with Federal Premium 73-grain Gold Medal Berger in my rifle and 130-grain Federal Syntech in my pistol.”

“We were proud to have supported the SMM3G match again. As their 25 consecutive years would suggest, this match has proven to be one of the premier 3-Gun events in the country,” said Federal Shooting Sports Promotions Manager Jason Spradling. “Our Team Federal shooters do a fantastic job representing our brand wherever they go. It’s great to see them perform well in such a high-profile, challenging match. Special congratulations go out to Alysia Burrows and Tony Holmes for their category wins.”

Alysia Burrows took home High Lady honors in the Stealth 2-Gun category. “The 69-grain .223 Rem. Gold Medal rounds worked fantastically well. We had to shoot moving c-zone steel at 300 yards and static steel ranging out to 500 yards. It’s nice to have ammo that you can depend on to get the job done,” said Burrows. “Syntech Action Pistol rounds ran flawlessly as well and kept our guns running without having to stop and clean them mid-match. Amazing ammo makes amazing shooting possible.”

Tony Holmes earned High Senior honors and took 14th Place in the Open Division. “I run Federal American Eagle 223 ammo with the 55-grain FMJ bullet in my rifle and Federal Premium Gold Medal Grand Handicap loads in my 12 gauge,” said Holmes. “My 38 Super handloads utilize Federal components. All my ammo functioned to perfection, as usual.”

Other Team Federal highlights included Tucker Schmidt – 6th Place Open Division and Chris Sechiatano – 4th Place Stealth 2-Gun Division

“Federal Premium continues to provide the most consistent, reliable ammunition available to competitive shooters. Our team’s performance at the 2021 SMM3G confirms that,” said Spradling. “Whether it’s Federal Syntech handgun ammo, Federal Gold Medal Grand shotshells or any of the Federal rifle loads, you can count on our ammo to help you perform your best under pressure.”

Federal ammunition can be found at dealers nationwide or purchased online direct from Federal. For more information on all products from Federal or to shop online, visit www.federalpremium.com.

L3Harris Technologies and American Rheinmetall Vehicles Team to Pursue US Army’s New Fighting Vehicle

Wednesday, April 14th, 2021

L3Harris Technologies and German integrated technology group Rheinmetall’s subsidiary American Rheinmetall Vehicles have signed a teaming agreement to jointly develop the U.S. Army’s new Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV), which will replace the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

The agreement combines L3Harris’ open system design and equipment manufacturing leadership with the maturity and modularity of American Rheinmetall Vehicles’ Lynx next-generation fighting vehicle for an OMFV offering that is low-risk and easily upgradable.

American Rheinmetall Vehicles, the prime contractor, selected L3Harris to provide vehicle mission systems, cybersecurity and its modular open systems approach (MOSA) for the Lynx. L3Harris’ MOSA can enable cross-platform and cross-domain commonality of parts and subsystems to allow for easy and affordable upgrades.

“We have a long history providing similar support to multiple platforms using our MOSA approach for mission systems and electronic warfare,” said James Gear, Vice President, L3Harris Domestic Business Development. “We look forward to working with American Rheinmetall Vehicles to further expand into the ground defense vehicle market.”

“We are excited to have L3Harris join our growing team to support the U.S. Army’s OMFV program,” said Mathew Warnick, Managing Director for American Rheinmetall Vehicles. “Their experience in open architecture, communications, and cybersecurity bring tremendous capability to the American Rheinmetall Vehicles team as we prepare our digitally engineered OMFV to provide our Soldiers overmatch now and for the future.”

The design approach is grounded in the reuse of technologies and lessons from the family of L3Harris programs and engagements around the Army’s modular open aviation and ground endeavors.

“Over the last several months, we’ve seen a surge in individuals exercising their right to firearm ownership, particularly those new to shooting,” said Evan McNamara, Director of Product Development for Blackhawk. “That’s why we developed the YR2P initiative. We wanted it to serve as a way to educate and guide both new and experienced gun owners. With resources covering everything from how to select a holster to the different options for carry, we want to continue to build confidence among gun owners all while welcoming them to the 2A community.”

Additional YR2P resources available to gun owners include the Blackhawk Carry Positions Guide. This downloadable PDF helps to educate consumers on carry position terminology and the differences in holster designs and styles. Blackhawk also offers a full lineup of videos with carry tips for all seasons and types of clothing (casual, athletic, business, etc.), product overviews, “how to” instruction, testimonials and ambassador spotlights.
