Is there any 3 Gun Competition in the UK, is this sport popular here? Or the best thing closet to it might be Practical Shooting Competition?

2. SMLE rifle

Four4islands have been doing 2 & 3 gun matches at various clubs & also at Bisley plus a multi-gun charity match for Help4Heroes for the past 3 years.

They have a national series running for both PSG & multi-gun that will produce national champions.

You can find out more at http://www.four4islands.org

The current multi-gun matches use Shotgun, .22 mini rifle or LBP & where the range allows full bore rifle as well.

We're getting some really good momentum with 3 gun competitions going in the UK, and four4islands is even a 3 gun nation affiliated club now too..

F4i have a pretty full calendar with the shotgun series and the multi gun series, and it keeps getting better each year, so get involved :)
