Following the Sandy Hook shooting, NBC Sports showed its true colors by dropping all firearms related programming. Apparently 50%+ of the American public wasn’t a big enough demographic to tailor their shows towards. Anyway, it seems like the new season of the show will indeed be shown on cable this year, being picked up for a Q3 2013 start on the Pursuit Channel. Presser after the jump . . .
The 3-Gun Nation Television series, which is produced by The National 3-Gun Association of Lexington, SC, has been added to the Pursuit Channel lineup. Beginning Q3 2013, hour-long formats will appear Fridays at 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. and Thursdays at 1:00 p.m. EST.
“3-Gun Nation Television is a model for those Americans who understand the fun and safety of recreational and competitive shooting,” said Rusty Faulk, CEO of Pursuit Channel.
“Only a handful of networks in our great country are comfortable with the promotion of patriotic, law-abiding men and women safely enjoying their Constitutional rights to own and use modern sporting rifles, tactical shotguns and the pistols that help win our wars and put food on our tables,” Faulk continued.
“That Pursuit Channel understands and embraces the values of a show like 3-Gun Nation is what sets it apart.”
“Pursuit Channel is a terrific venue for 3-Gun,” said Pete Brown, producer of 3-Gun Nation Television and the co-founder and President of The National 3-Gun Association. “Becoming part of a broadcast family that’s clearly pro-Second Amendment is sure to benefit our partners, our viewers and the future of 3-gun sports,” said Brown, whose programming portfolio includes shows for NRA, NWTF and NSBA.
3-Gun Nation Television, www.3gunnation.com, was formed with one mission: To promote practical shooting by shining a light on amateur and professional shooters alike, as well as the guns, gear and lifestyle that define the high-octane sport of 3-gun competition.
The hosts of 3-Gun Nation are Chad Adams and Patrick Kelley, with special guest host Mark Willis. Willis, a country music artist whose “Nineteen Something” was voted the #2 song of the decade by Billboard, is a recent and fervent 3-gun shooter. He balances 3-Gun Nation events across the country with tour stops for his new album, “Looking for America.” To date, Willis has travelled to Afghanistan and Iraq six times to perform for service members.
Adams, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, began covering the firearm industry eight years ago as the assistant editor of the NRA’s Shooting Illustrated magazine. Adams eventually moved to the NRA’s flagship magazine, American Rifleman, where he ultimately served as managing editor.
Kelley is a veteran 3-gunner who is widely regarded as the sport’s best Heavy Metal-division competitor. With numerous championships to his credit, Kelly, who finished 14th in the country on last season’s 3GN Pro Series Tour provides expert color commentary and analysis for Pro Series matches in 2013.
Pursuit Channel, www.pursuitchannel.com, active in 38.5 million U.S. television households, is the only audited outdoors television network viewable to every DIRECTV (604 PRST) and DISH Network (240 PRST) subscriber.

Robert, I have much love for you and what you’ve done here. So take what I’m about to say like a good friend that’s try to talk you out of marrying some crazy Swedish model because you think she’s hot (I’ll let you insert a link, those are great btw).
Your such a tool dood. This reminds me of time you said, “Obama doesn’t want to take your guns.” You said that allot. I’m sorry to rub salt in the wound but you need to wake up and stay awake. I use to think you posted stuff like this to stir a controversy. I’ve realized you are actually trying to convince yourself that its not as bad as it looks. It is.
Are you really cool with DHS saying they only have 16? Well hell it must be true if said government agency told us so. Sure they aren’t lying, they have been using those 16 for years. There probably isn’t any more in the process of being refitted. And if there is its not near that number.
After everything that has happened and the number of times we are outright lied to on a daily basis and your taking DHS word on this? Yeah and Benghazi was started from a YouTube video. I could go on but whats the point.
Are you going to take the blue pill or the red pill Robert?
Ok more obligatory model links please. Keep up the good work.
TRUST THE FED’S, Was it not the Federal Government who killed off the majority of
the Indians, disarmed them, stole their land, sent them packing west, knowing they would freeze before they got there & Still being discriminated against.
This woman is as crazy as a SHITHOUSE RAT. So “PTSD” is something brand new, huh? What did our WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam vets have? The same EFF’N THING!
This woman has far exceeded her expiration date and any possible usefullness on this earth planet. This is one baby who NEEDS to go out with the bath water. And take Pelosi and Boxer and the rest of those insane Kalifornicators with you
I think Pursuit Channel is in most basic packages that I’ve seen. Also I think they are on Roku and Verizon now.
I saw on their website that their going to be on Century Link too pretty soon.
