Hunters and Anglers, Learn how to Stop the Bleed - Long Island

Event Start Date: 12/1/2025 4:00 PM

Event End Date: 12/1/2025 6:00 PM

Timezone: EST

The #1 preventable killer after accidents in the field is uncontrolled bleeding, as hunters and anglers we are often far from help.  The Stop the Bleed course teaches three simple skills (direct pressure, wound packing, tourniquets) that any hunter or angler can use to save a partner or themselves. 

Nationwide, hunting-related gunshot wounds are extremely rare but not zero: International Hunter Education Association’s records show annual U.S. totals in the hundreds with fatalities typically under 100, nationwide. In New York, 2024 saw 11 hunter-related shooting incidents with only one fatality, and DEC reports that in recent years falls from tree stands have outnumbered firearm incidents, learning bleeding control skills is something essential for hunters, anglers and outdoors folks in general. 

The New York chapter is bringing you a free, hands-on workshop taught by Stop the Bleed instructors to train you how to apply this specialized first aid in. the field.
