I used to shoot a lot of USPSA and 3 gun before my daughter got into competitive shooting and I started coaching her.
Sticks is spot on. The long barrel and hit mag scope are going to hurt you, especially if the farthest target is 80 yards. it looks like you have two ARs I would run the shortest, lightest one with the lowest power mag scope that you have. I shot a whole season with an 18" 6.8 SPC ( I know I am probably going to hell for saying that here) rifle set up for 3 gun it is complexly doable with the Grendel BUT as LR55 stated it is not really necessary. 5.56 will do everything that you need in 3 gun.
Now having said all that I would take whatever I had and go shoot. You will learn a lot and have a great time. Most folks there will let you play with their kit/guns and may even loan a gun to shoot. Find out if you like(you will it is as addictive as 6.5 Grendel rifles), look at what other folks are using, borrow gear and find out what you like THEN when you have about 70% of it figured out start buying your gear.
Have fun and good luck at the match. 3 gun is a blast; pun intended!!
