Welcome to Double Tap Academy! Our school is not your run of the mill organization. We have a different philosophy when it comes to our approach to firearms and self defense training. Our method involves small class sizes and an attention to individual training. We limit our student to instructor ratios to make sure that everyone who attend our classes get the utmost and personal attention to maximize their training experience. Whether you join one of our classroom settings which we typically limit to 10 individuals or are looking for personal training, we have got you covered. Our instructors are comprised of individuals with law enforcement, military, and department of corrections backgrounds. They are all avid firearm enthusiast and expert marksmen, further, they are all seasoned instructors. The unique thing about Double Tap Academy is that this is not just business. All our instructors work full time in their professions, this is a passion project for all of them. Our mission is to educate those seeking to own firearms or looking to learn to defend themselves and their loved ones in a safe, responsible, and legal way. We can’t wait to meet you!
