Firearms courses include but are not limited to: Direct Action & Movement - Handgun & Rifle, Active Shooter (Force on Force), Long Range Precision, Urban Combat, Close Quarters Battle, Concealed Carry Tactics and Methodology, Actions on Contact, Executive Protection, and Recapture Tactics.
INSTRUCTORS: At RED CLOVER we live the shooter’s life day in and day out. We know what works, what to look for, and how to coach for performance. Our instructors are not only expert facilitators; they spend an average of 9 months down range working with a variety of weapons & utilizing modern TTP’s in various real world settings. We collaborate with other government and industry professionals to ensure we are teaching the most current tactics and sharing up to the minute knowledge with our trainees. It is because of this, that a majority of our training will focus on tactical-medicine, executive protection, insider threats, active shooters, precise rapid engagements w/ movers (rifle), protective fire calls (rifle), close quarters battle, recapture tactics and direct action and movement.

RIFLE COURSES:
Rifle I
(Focus on Firearms Safety, Proper Rifle Set Up, Apoc Sling Work, Firearm Fundamentals, Weapons Manipulation)
Downrange Rifle I
(Focus on Firearm Fundamentals and Weapons Manipulation, Malfunctions, and Weapons Manipulation) Downrange Rifle Focus
This course starts with gear set up and understanding the how’s, when’s, and why we do things; which we discuss and prac-app throughout. It’s not enough that you know how to shoot well, one must be able to apply the basic shooting fundamentals, in various scenarios, in various shooting platforms, and under stress. After gear set up we will get your zero spread, then work malfunction drills, transition drills, and throw in downrange considerations.
Zero Spread (25, 36, 50, or 100)
Your 10-200 zero spread and hold overs are one of the things we go over, this is done by zeroing your rifle then getting the round impact data from point of aim out to 200 (for this course). D.O.P.E. - Data On Previous Engagements - gain that knowledge for “your” rifle, push the limits and learn what you need to take into consideration when variables are involved. Knowing this will aid dramatically in the how, when, and why to employ your rifle in various scenarios. It’s not a huge deal when you’re aiming at big ass targets; but when everything is a head shot, things change.
We will expand on positional shooting through and off various types of barricades. How your round is affected and to compensate for this change in trajectory. Stop going off what “the experts” tell you; go off of what gets rounds on target, quickly, accurately, and consistently. Even the experts are continually tweaking things. - Kaizen
SPECIALTY COURSES:
Active Shooter (Mindset, Movement to Contact, Methodology and Target Acquisition, Breaking Contact, and Extraction)
Platform D.O.P.E. This is a rifle course designed to take an intermediate shooter and gather advanced data on using their everyday, “optic and rifle set up” in a variety of scenarios. From close-range out to 400yards, whether you use a Red-Dot or an LPVO, we will get you making first round hits on 8” head-size targets with rapid follow-ups.
It’s not the weapon, it’s the shooter. Once you have the knowledge you can make any weapon your own.
- Marksman Mindset vs. Shooter Mindset
- Zero Spread
- Hold Overs using YOUR Optic
- Range Estimation Using YOUR Optic
- Rapid Target Engagements
- Synchronized Shots
- Gear Selection / Sling Work
- Weapons Manipulation
Anyone can make a great shot, it’s that rapid follow up shot that sets a shooter apart.
Precise Rapid Engagements w/ Movers (PRE-M) :
This course is Part II of our Platform D.O.P.E. Series. This is an advanced shooters course. Most of our targets will be head-size or small silhouettes and over 50% will be movers. Distances to targets will range from 50 - 400.
Shooters must be able to hold an MOA under pressure, know their rifle/optic inside and out, have solid D.O.P.E., know how to shoot accurately from various shooting positions, and posses a good level of physical fitness.
We will get that heart rate up, we will be moving quickly into and out of firing positions, we will work protective / hostage-taker fire calls, and the majority of our drills will be on the shot clock.
This course was designed by sniper’s currently working downrange; FOR snipers, ddm’s, and all the other types of long-gunners looking to advance their skillset.
Due to the amount of knowledge we will be throwing at you; this is one of our VSO (Vetted Shooters Only) courses.
Ballistic Breaching utilizing the shockwave.
BREACHING:
Dynamic: Of or relating to energy or to objects in motion in an overt manner.
This course is designed around forceable entry and will focus on Ballistic and Mechanical means. Upon completion, clients will be able to assess entry anatomy and identify tools and TTP’s for correct breaching method needed. We will go over two main types of approach for each breaching scenario, the first will be Non-Permissive in nature, the second will be with the First Responder / Medical Crisis in mind. We will discuss safety procedures and equipment employment for the first responder, and for non-permissive environments, we will discuss proper employment of breaching tools with kit considerations and limitations in mind to include weapons retention and availability. This course is can be a stand alone course but is usually tied in with our CQB course. (MIL / LEO / CONTRACTOR)
Surreptitious VSO: Obtained, done, or made by clandestine or stealthy means. synonym: secret.
This course is designed around entry methodology focussing on stealth and furtive means. For more information on this course email us. Due to the type of knowledge and methodology we will be sharing this is one of our VSO courses. (Select Clientele Only)
MEDICAL COURSES:

Knowing what you can do with what you have is key to survival; make good choices.
Direct Action and Movement
MOVEMENT AND FLOW COURSES:
Direct Action & Movement (D.A.M)
D.A.M. I (Focus on Direct Action and Movement on Contact, TTP’s)
Our D.A.M. course is a very fast-paced course where we run you through a multitude of drills that have real world relevance. The entire course will revolve around reactive shooting, speed shooting, in addition to working though malfunctions and transitions while on the move.
Quick to the gun; quick to the target; while on the move. You’ll rarely start facing your target and on the timer you will be executing and facing drill and moving with purpose. There will be a lot of reloads of various types and positional shooting in and around the four main shooting platforms.
If you can see yourself in a gunfight at some point in the future; this is the course you’ll want to set you up for success. The pressure will be on from start to finish so if you’re wanting to push yourself past that comfort level this course is for you.
D.A.M II (Focus on Direct Action and Movement on Contact, TTP’s with Obstacle Negotiation, Movement & Team Building)
Working with a small unit, teamwork and flow should be organic; obstacle negotiation and movement must become second nature.
Utilizing a quick to the gun, quick to the target mindset; you will be target focused throughout most of this course. The drills we go over will pertain to scenarios you WILL find yourself in if you are Law enforcement, mil working downrange, or gov (various environments). We execute these drills in a very safe, controlled (but realistic) environment so you can get the best benefits.
We hate seeing real life situations where things went wrong because the shooter was never allowed to practice that scenario/drill in a safe and controlled environment. Be Ready!
Close Quarters Battle
There are a lot of different methods for
clearing a house.
A lot of those methods will get you killed; learn the “proper” methods, along with how, when, and why to use them, and you might stand a chance.
