Team Federal’s Varick Beise Shines at the Memorial 3-Gun Competition

Team Federal had an excellent showing at the 7th Annual Memorial 3 Gun Competition held October 11-13, 2024, in Maxton, North Carolina. According to event organizers, Memorial 3 Gun isn’t just about the sport but remembering our fallen heroes and honoring them and their families. Federal-sponsored shooter Varick Beise took home the best overall win, 1st place in the Open Division, and won the Special Forces Association pistol side stage competition.

“Memorial 3 Gun is a 10-stage match; each stage honors a fallen soldier from the Special Forces community. The match proceeds to help the Gold Star families of these soldiers, and it is one of the many things this organization does to help ease the burdens put on these families,” said Varick Beise. “My Federal ammo gave me the performance and confidence I needed. I was lucky to have the opportunity to shoot on a squad of great people. Everyone was there to compete at their best while enjoying the moment and remembering why we were there.”

Beise shoots a variety of Federal ammunition during competition. For handgun, he chooses a Syntech PCC 9mm 130-grain. For shotgun, he trusts Federal’s Action Shotgun target loads and Truball rifled slugs. For rifle, he selects American Eagle 223 Rem. 55-grain FMJ for close and moderate ranges, then Gold Medal 223 Rem. 69-grain Sierra MatchKing for long range.

“With the Syntech in my pistol, I get a soft-shooting round that works the comp well, making for a flat, fast-cycling gun that still has good down-range energy. Federal Action Shot Shell was designed specifically to run in shotguns like mine,” said Beise. “I shoot Federal American Eagle for anything within 200 yards and the heavier 69-grain Gold Medal bullets for shots at greater distances where precise accuracy is needed.”
