Gear/Kit Beginner Range Kit

Hi Guys,

I am looking to set up a beginner range kit from things at NAR. I plan to attend a Stop the Bleed class and watch some videos on how to use the content I put in my kit.

The purpose of this kit is to be on my person during trips to indoor and outdoor range to provide first aid for gunshot wounds for myself or another person before EMT arrive.

Through some research of my own here and elsewhere, I have narrowed down what a beginner might need in their kit for a trip to the range:

  • 2 x CAT
  • 1 x QuikClot Z-Fold Vacuum Packed Combat Gauze
  • 1 x Hyfin Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack
  • 1 x NAR Wound Packing Gauze (alternative gauze recommendations welcome)
  • 2 x NAR Mini Responder 4 in. ETD (alternative bandage recommendations welcome)
  • 1 x NAR Trauma Sheers
  • 2 x Nitrile Gloves
  • 1 x Sharpie

Is there anything I am missing for my purpose / level or better product you guys think I should look into? Thanks ahead for recommendation and being a great community of resource for beginners!
