Meet the 2026 Rapid Defense Team

The 2026 shooting season has kicked off and we've added several new shooters to our sponsored team. Sponsoring shooters not only gets our name out there, but it allows us to support the shooting sports and the people that make it great.

Returning this year is Nick Doub, a seasoned veteran who's been with us for a few years. Nick is a master level IDPA shooter and does a ton of matches locally and throughout the region. He's always ready to talk shooting sports and frequently places in the top 3 wherever he goes. You can see him putting in the work on his Youtube channel.

Teddy Bergs joins RD this year as he seeks to level up his shooting skills. He's a veteran, USPSA competitor, and a prepared citizen looking forward to working with Rapid Defense for the 2026 season. You can follow him on his Instagram.

"Working with not only seasoned trainers, but fellow-minded citizens who work to put knowledge in the hands of the 2A community is an awesome opportunity. I'm looking forward to putting the training I've gotten to use in several competition disciplines ranging from USPSA to Precision Rifle Series."

Next up is Ryan Clemente, also new to the team. We've known Ryan for a while now and have seen his progress over the years. He's got a lot of shooting action on his Instagram.

"I’m excited and grateful to be able to continue my firearms journey as a sponsored shooter of Rapid Defense. As someone who has frequented events and classes that have been run or affiliated with RD, it’s such a pleasure to be able to be part of their team. With their commitment to training and learning, i just couldn’t stay away. I can’t wait to see what this season has in store."

Dartanion Sellers is someone you'll see at a lot of matches, and we're excited he is also joining the team. He has a very impressive skill set and we're excited to see him reach a higher level this year. Give him a follow on IG!

"I'm super excited to be a part of the Rapid Defense team. Representing a company with values and a drive to serve the community through training. Joining the team will only increase my drive for success."

Lastly, Andrew Pfantz joins us from the western side of the state. He travels frequently and is a high level shooter we are proud to bring on board, especially one that shares our values. You can keep up with him on his Instagram also.

"I am excited to join the Rapid Defense team as a sponsored shooter. It is very special for me to partner with a company who strives to bring high quality training to people in the area I call home. I look forward to what this season has to offer, between helping people find training, and shooting some great matches, this is set to be the best season yet."

We wish all of our shooters a safe and successful season. If you see them at a match be sure to say hi, and watch them bring the boom!
