What kind of 3-gun match? Tactical, IPSC, SOF all have different rules on max. capacity, etc. For a IPSC 3 gun match you will need to carry 15-20 shot shells with you in addition to what you have in the tube. There are shell holders you can get to wear on the belt. For rifle, you want a 20 inch barrel for the longer sight radius if you are using iron sights for targets out to 300 yards or so. I would get one or two mag holders for your AR mags as well.
