FNH USA announces its title sponsorship of the new 3-Gun Nation, a championship series of 3-gun shooting events set for broadcast on Versus in July 2010.

Overseen and run by the National 3-Gun Association (N3GA), 3-Gun Nation will afford competitors the opportunity to win a $5,000 purse per event culminating in a championship prize of $25,000 for first place, $10,000 for second place, and $5,000 for third place.

Each episode will feature a dramatic conclusion to determine the winner in which the top five competitors at the end of the event will go head to head at one stage for the fastest time.

The show will be hosted by country music star Mark Wills an active shooter and new 3-Gun competitor, along with American Rifleman magazine field editor and host of American Guardian, Chad Adams. 3-Gun Nation will air Mondays at 7:30 a.m. EST and Thursdays at 3:00 p.m. EST.

The N3GA will also launch its web site, www.3-Gun Nation.com, in March. The site will feature original content posted daily – news, feature stories, forums, photos, blogs and professionally produced videos of the events and competitors.

Guns and gear will be evaluated and reviewed by outdoor journalists and professional shooters offering insight into what is, perhaps, the most exciting area of the shooting sports.

“The 3-Gun Nation series will bring to light the excitement and drama each amateur and professional shooter experiences in every match as well as show off the coolest guns, gear, and lifestyle that defines the sport,” said Ken Pfau, vice president of law enforcement and commercial sales for FNH USA.

“The show will include vignettes with tips and techniques from professional shooters that will geared to the experienced shooter as well as being helpful to the beginner. We want to welcome everyone to the sport.”
