ShootfastRunfaster Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Does anyone know what the 3 Gun Nation tour will be for 2012? There are no updates on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I would be willing to bet the 3 Gin Nation doesn't know exactly what next year will hold until after the SHOT show at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.E. Kelley Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I've some ideas, but as Jesse said much will be determined at the Shot Show. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootfastRunfaster Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'll be at the SHOT Show, but I'm guessing that I'll still have to wonder for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I agree. The best thing we can hope is that more great companies see how awesome and exciting the shoot off is in Vegas and cut the show a big fat check, sponsor some shooters and start building some 3 gun guns and gear to sell.

KTKlaus Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) I can't hardly wait... but a little patience couldn't hurt. I've been shooting local matches primarily and want to step it up a bit. Sadly it may not be until July in which I can start attending. Hopefully they put AR.com, Blue Ridge and Ozark back (as that's what I plan on attending) on it and maybe a few others on the East coast...

Jadeslade Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I could care less about 3Gun Nation. I like to shoot, don't like the show. I used to like to play golf, never watched it. If ESPN could make Formula 1 really cool to watch, someone can make a 3 Gun Match cool to watch. This just isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead-Head Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I do not like any other gun related programing on TV. I don't watch any sport related events. I do not have the attention span to watch an entire game. But I like 3GN. I like the way it profiles the shooter, as well as shows some actual action. Not crazy about the shootoff, but i understand that is how they get others with a short attention span interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Larue Tactical Texas Multi-Gun – OR – 2. The AR15.com / Rockcastle Pro-Am – OR – 3. FNH USA 3-Gun Championships If you choose to shoot all five (5) 3GN Pro Series matches, then the best three (3) scores will be used for overall 3GN Pro Series points. The three (3) scores will determine entry into the 3GN Pro Series Championship — held in conjunction with SHOT Show in Las Vegas, January 2013. The top 30 competitors, based on series points, will advance to the Las Vegas 3-Gun Nation Championship shoot-off Finale. Shooters will be seeded based on overall points. Top 2 shooters will receive a first round bye. 3GN PRO SERIES FORMAT The two (2) 3GN-produced matches will introduce a professional 3-gun format designed specifically for the top-level 3-gun competitor. It features a one-day, six-stage match format that will be the proving ground for the entire 2013 3GN Tour – as all 2013 3GN Pro Series matches will be produced by 3GN. The rules system will be simplified, and targets will be standardized for professional-level competition and a national audience. Each 2012 Pro Series match will feature an elite, 64-man field. From here forward all 3-Gun Nation Pro Series events will be Tactical Optics only. The two (2) 3GN "host" matches for 2012 will be similar to previous 3GN partnered matches, with points collected based on overall match finish – and the top 8 Pro Series Tactical Optics competitors advancing to the 3GN Shoot-Off. Only 3GN Pro Series (Tactical Optics) competitors will be eligible for 3GN Points, 3GN Shoot-Offs and 3GN cash payouts. In addition, Pro-Series competitors will be allowed to use their own Tactical Optics equipment and ammunitition in the 3GN Shoot-offs, ommitting the final round – of which sponsor products will be used. Cash payouts at all 3GN events, both 3GN-affiliated and 3GN-produced, will increase in 2012, with a guaranteed $10,000 cash going to the top three competitors: $5,000 for first place, $3,000 for second place, and $2,000 for third place. Each 3GN-produced Pro Series match will feature a 100% cash payback system based on paid entry fees. At each (non) 3GN-produced match, a $25 administration fee will be assessed to 3GN Pro Series competitors. 3GN DIVISIONAL SERIES presented by Hornady Registration as a 3GN Pro also allows you to compete in the 3GN Divisional Series, presented by Hornady. Similar to the 2011 season, Hornady will award $5,000 for the overall points winner of the following divisions: Open, Tactical Optics, Tactical Iron, Heavy Metal and Heavy Metal Optics. 3GN Divisional Points will be awarded at the following 3GN divisional matches: Superstition Mountain Mystery 3-Gun, Rocky Mountain 3-Gun, CMMG Midwest 3-Gun, MGM Ironman, Leupold & Warne Northwest Multigun Challenge, Adams Arms Ozark 3-Gun, Blue Ridge Mountain 3-Gun.

Thanks to FNH for supporting the sport. THANK YOU!

I thought they did Orlando every other year(just what I had heard in the past) It's been a couple years since they were in Orlando. I seem to remember they might go back sometime in the future. The facility there is even smaller than the Sands and they receive a larger crowd in Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke8401 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 3GN Pro # 1 – St. Augustine, FL, presented by Stag Arms 3GN Pro # 3 – Covington, GA, presented by Stag Arms So if you don't get into both of these matches you are done-done.

But I doubt that will happen. I am really excited about the one day format. Fly in Friday after work. Shoot Saturday and fly home Saturday night or Sunday morning. What will be interesting is that 3 of the point series matches are already full and now there is no way to get in them. Hell one of them is capped at 125 shooters. I guess with Leupold as a match sponsor and it being on the west coast it got included to make certain folks happy???

To qualify for the 3GN shoot-off finale you have to shoot the two mandatory matches and one of LaRue, ProAm or FNH. All other matches have no bearing for any shoot-offs, only for the $5k divisional prizes...So, the NW MG match will give you points to win the end-of-the-year $5k division prize, but its useless for anything else related to 3GN Edited January 27, 2012 by gose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
