3-Gun Nation Wants You in The Game!

3-Gun Nation (formally known as the National 3-Gun Association) was originally formed by Pete Brown and Chad Adams to showcase and drive interest to the exciting yet loosely-organized sport of 3-gun across the U.S. Over the roughly 7 years since its inception, 3-Gun Nation has gone on to become the premier regulatory body for 3-gun competition and boasts a proud and varied membership that is growing by the day.

Almost all of us in the tactical field drool over the latest gear and accessories for everything from weapons to clothing, and many of us are self-proclaimed pack-junkies quick to snatch up the latest in rucksack and tactical bag options (although whether or not we actually have anything to put in that bag yet can sometimes be irrelevant.) While we typically pay careful consideration to the pockets, load capacity, weatherproofing and any number of features that a pack may boast, we inevitably end up slapping on 100 MPH tape, bungees, paracord, zip-ties and even rubber bands to get our load-out right where we want it. One challenge that is often difficult to overcome, however, is a lack of anchor points. D-rings and webbing occasionally fit the need of securing gear that can’t be thrown in a bag or need to be readily accessible, but there just never seems to be enough of them to go around.
