Safariland Sponsors "Doug Koenig's Championship Season"

A Key Member of Team Safariland since 1987, Koenig’s Namesake Show is the Premier Shooting and Hunting Show

ONTARIO, CaliforniaThe Safariland Group, through its Safariland® brand of technologically advanced holsters and accessories for the law enforcement, military, concealment and competitive sporting markets, announced today its ninth year of sponsorship of “Doug Koenig’s Championship Season,” the premier shooting and hunting show. The team at Safariland shares Doug’s enthusiasm and commitment to the sport and congratulates him on the show’s longevity as they enter their ninth season. The show airs on the Pursuit Channel Wednesday, July 3, at 5:30 p.m. (EST), Friday, July 5 at 9:00 p.m. (Eastern Primetime) and Saturday, July 6 at 1:00 a.m. (EST).

“Perhaps no one is more excited to see the continued success of this show than we are,” said Scott Carnahan, vice president of Safariland’s duty gear business. “As a long-time Team Safariland shooter, Safariland’s association with Doug spans more than 30 years and he has been very instrumental in the development and refinement of products in the Safariland product line. Doug is a solid guy, and his vast experience in competitive shooting and hunting keeps the audience coming back year after year.”

Doug joined Team Safariland in 1987 while still a teenager, and he rapidly rose among the ranks to become one of the top shooters in the sport and the world. His numerous accomplishments include unprecedented multi-year wins at several competitions: 18-time Bianchi Cup winner; 20-time Masters International Championship winner; and 22-time Sportsman’s Team Challenge Open Champion. All of these events require multiple disciplines and skills.

Carnahan added, “Doug and I grew up together in the shooting sports, both on and off the range. He always strives to achieve the highest level of performance in everything he does, and it’s reflected in the quality and excitement of the show. Be sure to check out season nine of ‘DKCS’.”
