The Story Behind Range Buddy
Built by a competitive shooter who got tired of tracking drills in a spreadsheet.
Founder
Jeremy Gill
Jeremy is a competitive shooter and software developer who spent years frustrated by the lack of a single, well-designed app for serious firearms training. Drill instructions were scattered across YouTube, PDFs, and the back of old notebooks. Performance logs lived in spreadsheets — if they existed at all.
In 2023, he set out to fix that. Range Buddy started as a personal tool to organize the drills he was already running. It quickly grew into a full platform after other shooters in his club asked for access. What began as a side project became a mission: give every shooter — from first-timer to competitor — the tools that serious athletes take for granted.
Jeremy trains regularly at local USPSA and IDPA matches and holds certifications from several leading shooting schools. He built Range Buddy to be the app he always wished existed.
World-class training, accessible to every shooter.
Quality shooting instruction has historically been expensive, geographically limited, and hard to find. We believe every responsible gun owner deserves access to world-class training resources — structured drills, expert coaches, and performance feedback — regardless of where they live or what their budget looks like.
Range Buddy exists to close that gap. We partner with the best coaches and institutions in the industry to bring their curricula directly to your phone, so you can train smarter on your own schedule.
Trusted partnerships.
