It's required for Cowboys.  Also, LIFE hosts an annual 3-gun competition, but that is for LIFE instructors only. 
The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.

Are you talking about the 3-gun events that you see on The Outdoor Channel, where the shooters transition between handgun, rifle and shotgun in a given stage?  If so, I don't believe there are clubs on Oahu that do that.  There are ISPC clubs that have rifle and shotgun side matches, but they consist of a complete shooting stage with just the rifle or shotgun (no transition to or from handgun). 

3 gun matches that I've seen require a LOT of land, with rifle shots often in the 200-300 yard range and beyond.  Maybe there could be range facilities on the outer islands large enough to host something like that, but not on Oahu.

Not 3 gun, but I think HPS has a multi-gun match scheduled later in the year and MPPL had a 2-gun match earlier this year.

i've seen videos on youtube where the shooters were shooting at what looked to be 25-30 yards max
