REGISTER FOR STOP THE BLEED AT ROOFTOP SHOOTING RANGE

THIS STOP THE BLEED CLASS IS FOR ROOFTOP SHOOTING RANGE MEMBERS, SPONSORED SHOOTERS, AND RSOs ONLY. DO NOT REGISTER IF YOU ARE NOT AN ACTIVE ROOFTOP SHOOTING RANGE MEMBER.

Course Overview: This hands-on class prepares you to respond to life-threatening bleeding emergencies in resource-poor environments, where sterile settings, medical personnel, or supplies may be unavailable. Focused on the critical "Golden Hour" (the window to get patients to definitive care), you’ll learn practical, improvised techniques to stabilize injuries and buy time for survival.

Key Learning Objectives:

1. Tourniquet Mastery - Proper application of commercial tourniquets. - Improvised tourniquets using everyday items (belts, cloth, etc.).

2. Bleeding Control - Wound packing with gauze, hemostatic agents, or alternative materials (clean cloth, sanitary products). - Creating chest seals for penetrating injuries (using plastic, tape, etc.).

3. Adaptive Problem-Solving - Resourcefulness in non-sterile environments. - Prioritizing actions when medical help is delayed or unavailable.

4. Patient Assessment & Monitoring - Rapid evaluation of injuries and bleeding severity. - Tracking vital signs and maintaining stability until help arrives.

Why This Matters:

- Over 80% of preventable trauma deaths are due to uncontrolled bleeding.

- Emergencies happen *anywhere*—wilderness, conflict zones, accidents, or disasters.

- You can bridge the gap between injury and professional care.

Takeaway Skills:

- Confidence to act decisively in high-pressure situations.

- Ability to improvise with limited tools.

- Empowerment to be a lifesaver, not a bystander. Equip yourself with the knowledge to turn the tide between life and death.
