RF-1,

Thanks for that, it does help...

With regards the dressing used, IIRC initially we were taught to put an improvised 3 sided dressing over each hole, (ie entry and exit) and then in later years it switched to a fully sealed dressing on both holes, but now I think its reverted back so to speak as ACS and laterly Bolin's are being issued.

Our hunting club has range training days about 3 times a year, so there is always the worry of an ND and somebody suffering a GSW.

Considering the terrain, location, and other circumstances, I estimate it would take an ambulance about 20mins to 45 mins to reach a casualty, so I am trying o brush up on the basics to have a fighting chance if the SHTF,

Regards,

Peter
