Tactical Trauma Care/ Stop The Bleed Course 5/14/22

With everything going on in the world today, there is a good chance you will have to be your own first responder to save you or the person(s) next to you. A bleeding injury can happen in people injured in serious accidents, active shooters, or disasters.

Our instructors will teach you live—in person, using training materials specially developed to teach bleeding control techniques for self-application and/or the person(s) next to you. They will not only instruct you; they will be available to check your movements as you practice tourniquet applications, wound packing, pressure dressing, and chest seals. They will keep working with you until you demonstrate the correct skills to STOP THE BLEED® and save a life. Once you have passed these skills tests you will leave with a STOP THE BLEED® certification and be versed in practical applications.

*This course will be combined with range time and how to apply these bleeding control techniques while under duress and active shooter situations. So bring your pistol, up to 200 rounds, (you can self regulate based on ammo supply), and learn Stop the Bleed techniques.  The first half of the class will be hands-on trauma care with props to mimic real-life injuries.  The second half will be on the range shooting while applying these techniques to your self or others. We bring all the equipment needed for the trauma applications. We are now offering quality ammunition from Stand 1 Armory that you can purchase with your ticket in increments of 250 rounds. Your ammo will be waiting for you at the class and you will save the cost of shipping.
