Self Rescue for the Range and Street

Course Description

This one-day training seminar is designed for individuals who carry a firearm, including law enforcement officers, security professionals, and responsibly armed private citizens. The course focuses on practical self-aid and immediate trauma response techniques, with an emphasis on managing life-threatening bleeding in high-stress environments. Students will learn how to apply both combat pressure bandages and tourniquets—critical components that should be included in every shooter’s Everyday Carry (EDC) load-out.

The skills taught in this program are intended for use on oneself or others, with the goal of enabling continued performance and survival until emergency medical assistance arrives.

Core Topics of Instruction

• Effects of ballistic injury on human tissue
• Recognition of venous vs. arterial hemorrhage and associated risks
• Basic circulatory system anatomy

Course Structure

This program is divided into three progressive phases:

1. Classroom Instruction & Guided Discussion
2. Practical Skills Development (No Live Fire)

Each phase builds on the previous, reinforcing both cognitive understanding and physical application under increasing stress conditions.
