Wills to Sing National Anthem at 3GN Finale

3-Gun Nation host and country music artist Mark Wills will sing the National Anthem prior to the 3-Gun Nation Championship Finale in Las Vegas January 18.

“I have loved to shoot since I was a small child,” Wills said. “Being able to balance my music career and my love of shooting is very important to me. I am honored to host 3-Gun Nation along with wearing the Blue FN jersey for 2012. I feel there is no better way to start my year off than to incorporate two of my favorite things.”

Wills is known in the shooting industry for his passion for shooting. He regularly competes at the prestigious NRA Bianchi Cup, along with several major Outlaw 3-Gun matches each season. In fact, new for the 2012 season, Wills will be wearing FN blue when he competes, now a member of Team FNH USA.

Wills also has a remarkable record of service for America’s troops, making several trips overseas to perform and lift the spirits of those in harm’s way.

He was recognized with the Patriot Award last September, presented by Operation Troop Aid. The award is given to an artist/entertainer who goes above and beyond to demonstrate his/her support of our troops via visits abroad or at U.S. bases and facilities, performing before them, being actively involved in fundraising initiatives to support charities, organizations and causes that directly benefit the military men and women and their families.
