When you’re doing training with your firearm, it’s a great idea to have a trauma first aid kit.

I have several TQs. My ankle IFAK has a SOF-TW (mostly because it folds the flattest) and I have a CAT and SAM-XT in my bag. All of my other kits plait the spares in my truck are CATs and SOF-TWs. Get one of the committee recommended TQs and learn how to use it. Aaand much like your carry gun, carry it it with you-on your person as much as you can. We must be prepared to be our first responder. Basic medical training training is a life skill that is valuable everywhere not just at the range.
