Bleeding Control Class

The number one cause of preventable death following an accident is blood loss. Worldwide this is true, and locally it’s true as well. The lessons we’ve learned from those deaths have shown us a better way to respond. Now, we simply need to train and equip as many people as possible to act immediately to STOP the BLEED!

Paul White, a State of Wisconsin licensed EMT, volunteer EMR with the Howards Grove Fire Department, American Red Cross Licensed Training Provider and certified instructor, and American College of Surgeons certified Stop the Bleed instructor, will conduct a 90-minute hands-on class for members of the SRPC. In the class, students will learn how to recognize significant blood loss following trauma, act quickly to summon help, intervene to stop or significantly slow blood loss, and report to arriving responders. Students will learn how to pack wounds, apply trauma dressings, apply tourniquets, and how to assemble their own bleeding control kits including where they can purchase materials with confidence.

This course is one every shooter, hunter, active outdoors person, power saw owner, knife handler (think cooking), dishwasher, or air breathing American ought to take. The 90 minutes you invest will help you save a life – even your own.

Cost is $5.00 with all proceeds going to the Sheboygan Rifle and Pistol Club. Seats are limited to the first 24 participants who sign up. Bring cash or a good check with you to the class!
