I would hope that shooting ranges have at least tourniquets on location. (might be an interesting question) Most will not have them because they are afraid of litigation if it "fails" to work. Washington State has CPR in high School and many business locations have AED's. Their survival rate between sudden cardiac arrest and release from the hospital with a working brain is about 5 times higher than ours. The point of my comment was to get people to think about other things that can be used instead of a store bought tourniquet. I think your training is good. It gives people the courage to get involved in an emergency. Most will stand back and video it. Someone has to take charge. Give orders to people...."you call 911 and give them our address., you go out and lead the ambulance here to the scene of the accident". It is not a given that the ambulance crew is familiar with your location. You make a very good point in that the care giver is giving that victim one more chance at life. There are no guarantees out there. Do all you can and know you tried.
