The 2017 3-Gun Nation (3GN) Regional Series will hold five championship matches throughout the year, providing great opportunities for shooters. The series concludes at the 3GN Nationals, which is part of the 3GN Championships and Shooting Sports Expo—to be held next November at the Virginia International Raceway in Alton, VA. The NRA is a presenting sponsor of 3-Gun Nation.

Read NRA Family coverage of the 2016 3-Gun Nation Championship and Shooting Sports Expo, including the 3-Gun Nation Shoot-Off, a man-versus-man tournament that crowns the overall Pro Series champion. The winner received a prize package sponsored by NRA that included a $50,000 cash prize.

The 3GN Pro Series will fold into the 3GN Regional Series event weekends, creating a fun-filled weekend of shooting for all levels of 3GN members. In addition, each Regional event will host a specific side shoot—either 3GN Shotgun Speed or 3GN Pistol matches. 

Each 3GN Regional Championship weekend will emulate the atmosphere of the 3GN Nationals, including three major matches running concurrently, and companies represented in vendor spaces, side shoots, demo bays and more. Even better, a prize table-only option, with reduced match fees to boot, will be available at Regionals for 3GN members. Additionally, 3GN Training will be available at each venue in 2017.
