For the local matches, what are the typical rifle shooting distances? Would a mid-length 16" rifle be at a disadvantage?

"When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." -Frederic Bastiat
"I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."

Thanks for the info, as always.

For 3Gun, CRC has the longest local shots, out to about 200. Weld a little less, Pike's peak less and Lake George less. Raton is pseudo local, and they might stretch to 400 or 500.
Irrespective, for the vast majority of shots in all of 3Gun, a 16" only hurts a tad more than an 18" if you don't know your data past 200 yards. If you want to build a 16" mid-length gas gun, you will be fine.
