Next Class: 8/14, Time: 6-8 p.m.
Owning a firearm brings responsibility, not only for use but also for preparedness. In the unfortunate event of serious injury, either accidental or defensive, life-threatening bleeding can occur within minutes. Knowing how to act quickly can mean the difference between life and death.
Our Save a Life: Control the Bleed class teaches gun owners the knowledge and techniques that you can use to help save a life should you find yourself rendering aid to a victim of a severe bleed. This class teaches similar trauma-response skills as the STOP THE BLEED® program, created by the American College of Surgeons in partnership with the U.S. DoD.
What You’ll Learn
Taught by a certified instructor, AimHi Family Firearms Center’s class will allow you to practice:
- Applying commercial tourniquets properly and using safe improvised techniques
- Direct pressure and packing wounds to control severe arterial bleeding
- Compression dressings and layering for sustained control
- Treating chest wounds, including seal application for penetrating injuries
These hands-on drills reinforce what we’ll cover in the classroom: identifying emergency bleeding, prioritizing actions and maintaining control until first responders arrive.
Course Format & Duration
- Approximately 2 hours: A mix of presentation and hands-on practice
- Open to adults and mature teens (no strict age minimum, though content can be graphic)
- Each class costs $49.95.
Why This Training Matters
Every second counts. Major bleeding can kill within 5–10 minutes without some kind of intervention. As a gun owner, you may be among the first on scene; being prepared protects yourself and others.
Gaining empowerment and confidence, you’ll develop knowledge and muscle memory to act under pressure.
