Random draws: Do you suck? We’ll if that’s the case you may have a chance to win anyway. 3GN will random draw select prize amounts so everyone who shoots the match has a fighting chance at beer money.
The PCC Division: Shoot the shotgun match on Saturday, shoot your Pistol Caliber Carbine match on Sunday… or vice versa. This event will coincide with the shotgun match. Why can we do this? Because you can shoot 9mm at any steel or paper target used in the shotgun match, so we offer do both events the same weekend, on the same stages. The PCC match will consist of 10-11 Stages and 35 to 45 rounds per stage. Approximate Round Count is 450 rounds!
The Match fee: Events like this can cost upwards of $250 or $300 or more. But like the 3-Gun Nation Regional Series, this event is competitively priced.

The PCC match fee is $115, or only $95 if you are also shooting the shotgun match. Juniors can shoot the PCC event for only $80.
The Range: Carolina Guns and Gear is located in Asheboro, North Carolina and is a retail outlet that features a wide variety of guns and ammo for hunters, shooters, competitive shooters and zombie killers. But the kicker is they have a sweet shooting range with bays and natural terrain.
