Will this be a venue that allows the Grendel to shine?
The 3GN Long Range program combines the speed and dynamic movement of 3-Gun with the precision and accuracy of long-range rifle matches. It incorporates the best of both worlds to provide a new and exciting match with a totally different feel.
3GN Long Range (LR) is longer than 3-Gun and faster than precision rifle. Semi-automatic pistols and accurate rifles are used to engage targets from arms reach out to 800 yards in a dynamic environment with plenty of movement and reactive targetry. It is a challenging new approach designed to stretch out the distance and speed up the shooting.
This new program will make a 3-gunner push their distance limits and become more accurate. The precision rifle shooter will benefit from the faster pace as it hones their time management skills and improves their ability to get in and out of various shooting positions quickly.

That was my first thought.

Since the rules allow gamesmanship ploys like "throwing away shots" at long-range targets (as per 1:40 in the video), it remains to be seen how much of an advantage a Grendel shooter would have.
And that match had only 12 participants. Unless the "Long Range" 3-gun -- er, [SIZE="5"]2[/SIZE]-gun
-- matches grow quite a bit, it doesn't seem like it'll be much of a showcase for 6.5 Grendel.
