USA-(Ammoland.com)- The time of year is upon us as summer begins to wind down and the fall is right around the corner, bringing cooler temperatures, football and, of course, the 3-Gun Nation Nationals and Shooting Sports Expo.

Nordic Components has joined forces with 3-Gun Nation for the inaugural 3GN Shotgun Nationals, which will be held in conjunction with 3-Gun Nation Nationals, presented by Freedom Munitions on October 7-9 at Virginia International Raceway shooting ranges.

“The 3-Gun Nation Eastern Regional was held this summer and featured a six-stage shotgun ‘side match’ during the event in which competitors could double-down on their trigger time that weekend,” said Charles Sole, 3GN Regional Director. “In conjunction with the forthcoming 3-Gun Nation Club Series program for shotgun-only competitions in 2017, 3GN will provide the first ever “Shotgun Nationals,” leading us into the 2017 Club Series Season.”

The 3-Gun Nation Shotgun Nationals, presented by Nordic Components, will be an all-steel match pitting the competitor against the clock to see how many falling steel targets and bonuses the competitor can knock down within a time limit. Earning the best score requires the competitor not only to shoot, load, and move the fastest, but also to make the most efficient use of the allocated time to choose the best combination of shooting positions and targets.

The 3-Gun Nation Shotgun Nationals, presented by Nordic Components, will feature $5,000 in cash prizes paid out 100-percent to the competitors. The entry fee is $75.

“We’re very excited partner with 3-Gun Nation on this event,” said Casey Knutson, Vice President of Operations for Nordic Components. “We have enjoyed supporting the shooting sports for many years – most notably shotgun and 3-Gun events, and we’re excited to continue that support at this event.”

The event is open to ANY 3-Gun Nation member to compete and is NOT limited by 3-Gun Nation Nationals invitation. To shoot this inaugural event, simply register here >
