Double Tapp Range Boise ID

Meet Paul & Jeanette Sweeney | The Story Behind Double Tapp Range — DOUBLE TAPP RANGE

Double Tapp Range is led by owners who bring real-world experience, genuine investment in this community, and one simple conviction: it’s not just a right… it’s a responsibility!

Paul didn't stumble into firearms training — he was raised in it. Growing up in a Marine Corps family, the range was never far from his roots. He graduated from MCRD San Diego in 1988 as Company Honor Man, was selected for a special intelligence program, and went on to serve 20 years in Marine Reconnaissance — leading Special Operations Teams on missions across the globe and retiring as a Master Sergeant in 2008.

Retirement didn't mean stepping back. Paul was selected to develop the Expeditionary Combat Shooting Skills Program for the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, then spent years deploying training programs worldwide for federal agencies, law enforcement, and DoD personnel. In 2014, he founded Total Defense Solutions — a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business — on one simple belief:

Paul doesn't teach people to stand and shoot. He teaches them to solve problems — to think critically under pressure, because the ability to think clearly in a crisis is what brings people home. That philosophy is the foundation of everything taught at DTR.

Jeanette brings the operational discipline and business leadership that turn a great facility into something that lasts. With a Master's in Computer Forensics and 20 years in government contracting, she has spent her career building programs, leading teams, and growing organizations. As Chief Strategy & Growth Officer at Total Defense Solutions, she's the driving force behind the business side of their mission — and at DTR, she brings that same focus to building a community worth being part of.

Her relationship with firearms has grown alongside Paul and the work he does. S
