Leupold Tactical Optics is providing a $25,000 first-place prize to the winner of the 2012 3-Gun Nation Championships, matching the prize being offered by NBC Sports, bringing the winner’s check to one of the largest payoffs in practical shooting.
From a field of 64 shooters, the top eight will compete in the Championships finale being held during the SHOT Show in Las Vegas Jan. 18, 2012.
“Supporting the 3-Gun community is an important part of our business,” said Kevin Trepa, vice president of Leupold’s Tactical Optic division. “Much of what we learn from these elite competitors translates directly into the feature sets in our premium tactical scopes.”
The eight finalists will compete in a man-on-man shoot-off using rifles, shotguns and handguns. Leupold Tactical Optics will provide all the optics used in the shoot-offs. The first competitor to knock down all the steel targets, including the final stop plate, wins the match.
The 3-Gun Nation Championship is the culminating event of a 10-event series of matches comprising almost 2,000 competitors from across the country. The 3-Gun Nation Tour is the only point series and qualification standard-setting body in the sport of 3-gun and is sanctioned by the National Rifle Association.
