Beyond First Aid - the most valuable training class you will take!

[A.J. Holst]

My likelihood of treating a gunshot wound as a result of a training accident or gun fight is pretty low.

The worst thing that could happen would be traveling down Chapman Highway, heading home from a special dinner with my beloved wife.

 

It was a wonderful dinner and conversation and we are looking forward to the rest of our evening, safe and secure in our home.

 

Maybe you've been in a similar situation, maybe it's your plan for tonight.

 

Then, some idiot drunk driver hits us head on.

 

GREAT NEWS: seat belts and air bags work exactly as designed.

 

HOWEVER: shards of flying glass and metal severely lacerate my wife's arms and torso and while waiting for First Responders, I watch her bleed out because:

I had no recent training

I did not have appropriate gear

I did not know how to properly apply a tourniquet, pressure bandage or chest seal

 

I thought, "stuff like this only happens to other people."

• If you are in or witness a horrific car wreck, could you render aid?
• Have you ever taken or when was the last time you took a medical class?
• Do you know how to treat a gunshot wound in the event of a negligent discharge or violent encounter?
• Can you treat your extremities and that of others to prevent a friend, colleague or family member from bleeding out?
• What are the current protocols for CPR?
• Does your home, auto and/or individual first aid kit have appropriate content for typical traumatic injuries?

• If you would like to gain basic knowledge and skill to treat potentially life threatening injuries, this class is for you.

If you have taken multiple pistol, carbine, rifle and shotgun classes, it might be time for a medical class or refresher to get current.

Treatment for GSWs is a good skill for gun owners to have.  Few will ever get to EMT level, but there's a lot you can do to keep someone alive before the ambulance shows up if you've got the training and materials.

Thank you A.J and Randy!

I would highly recommend this class to pretty much everybody! 

You don't need to be a "Gun Person" to benefit immensely from this training. The context A.J. presented is spot on. 

This is knowledge and these are skills that are needed and useful each and every day.

I admit to bias, as I know Randy and A.J. and have trained with them several times. They are outstanding instructors...teachers if you will... and fine people to boot.

Congrats and a Thank you for presenting this class.

Wish I wasn't going to be out of town that weekend. This is something I definitely would like to attend. 

[Cruel Hand Luke]

This one is just a little over a week to go . We still have a few spots available for both days. 

Hope to see you there! 

[A.J. Holst]

2 seats remain available Saturday

We still have 9 for Sunday

@Jamie Jackson donated some cool stuff for us to practice with and on, including a leg.

For the live fire portion of class, you can opt to shoot once / 10 rounds.

You may get an opportunity to expend up to 30 rounds depending upon range efficiency.

Great facility for teaching, training and shooting, backed up with awesome owner and staff.

I took the class today with Randy and AJ and have to admit it was a very serious topic that terrified me.  Randy and AJ did an amazing job introducing us to different trauma care techniques.   I think our whole group really had a lot of fun learning. We started the morning learning about life threatening injuries and how to treat them. We reviewed different tourniquets and bandages and tested them out on each other. Then we went outside and put our training to use. Randy shot a perfectly good pork roast, but it was a brilliant way to demonstrate how deep a gunshot wound could go and how much gauze it takes to fill it. We did a little live fire (at targets not each other) to simulate a realistic scenario of having to treat ourselves in the field. Randy an d AJ were amazing instructors and we had a really awesome class. Looking forward to more classes at Windrock Shooting Range.

Excellent AAR @LUVMYFREEDOM. Great pics as well. Thank you.

This is a great skill-set to develop. Keep practicing with your TQ!

I hate I missed this class. Randy and A.J. are great guys.
