Real Avid, the leader in DIY for Guns®, announces a new educational content platform intended to help shooters prepare responsibly, understand their equipment, build confidence, and get more from every safe range session. The Range Ready™ series, presented by world-renowned champion shooter and trainer Doug Koenig, kicks off with the focus on handgun preparation.
In this series, Doug— one of the world's winningest competitive shooters and trainers — steers the Range Ready™ philosophy toward practical applications and establishes the understanding that confidence with a handgun does not begin at the firing line…it begins before the first round is fired.
In short, Range Ready™ means showing up prepared, practicing with purpose, and building confidence through responsible, repeatable habits.
"You do not have to be a professional shooter to be prepared," said Doug. "You just have to care about the process. Whether someone is new to handgun shooting or has been practicing for years, confidence comes from safe habits, preparation, and doing the fundamentals the right way every time."
The Range Ready™ Handgun series is a foundational study for all responsible handgun owners seeking more confidence on the range. Recreational shooters, new firearm owners, concealed carry permit holders, and experienced shooters looking for better practice results all can benefit as Doug translates professional shooting habits into practical guidance for everyday handgun owners.
Throughout the series, Doug applies his decades of professional shooting experience and training approach to present several key themes, including:
- Preparation Before Performance – Better range days begin before the shooter arrives at the range.
- Confidence Through Control – Confidence comes from safe handling, proper setup, equipment familiarity, and repeatable habits.
- Practice With Purpose – Every range session should have a plan, a process, and a path toward improvement.
- Fundamentals Never Expire – Grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger control, follow-through, and safe handling matter at every skill level.
- Maintenance Is Readiness – Cleaning, inspection, lubrication, and post-range care are part of responsible ownership.
- Progress Over Hype – The series avoids tactical clichés and focuses on disciplined improvement, confidence, and responsibility.
Hosted on the Real Avid YouTube channel, the Range Ready™ Handgun series addresses topics that are essential for beginning and advanced shooters alike to build confidence and achieve success through preparation.
