After controlling severe bleeding in a gunshot victim, what is the next priority in the MARCH protocol?
Answer: Assess and manage the airway
After hemorrhage control, the next MARCH step is to ensure the airway is open and clear to maintain oxygenation.
A student experiences a delayed-fire (hangfire) situation. How long should the firearm remain pointed downrange before opening the action?
Answer: 30 seconds minimum, keeping the muzzle pointed safely downrange
A minimum 30-second wait with the muzzle pointed downrange is standard protocol for a suspected hangfire, as ignition can occur after a delay.
Which of the following is the MOST important factor in surviving a serious shooting range injury?
Answer: Rapidly controlling hemorrhage within the first few minutes
Uncontrolled hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death from traumatic injuries; rapid bleeding control in the first minutes is the single most critical intervention.
An instructor discovers that a student brought a concealed loaded firearm onto a 'no loaded firearms' range. What should the instructor do?
Answer: Calmly ask the student to unload the firearm and escort them off the range, then document the incident
A clear safety violation requires the instructor to remove the hazard (unload the firearm) and remove the violator, then document the incident per range policy.
What should an instructor tell students about the range's emergency procedures at the START of every session?
Answer: The location of first aid supplies, AED, emergency exits, and the procedure for calling for help
Students must know emergency resources and procedures before any shooting begins so they can respond correctly if an incident occurs.
A student suffers a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) after being stung by an insect on the outdoor range. They have a known epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen). What should the instructor do?
Answer: Help the student use their EpiPen immediately and call 911, as anaphylaxis is life-threatening
Anaphylaxis can be fatal within minutes; epinephrine administration and immediate EMS activation are both required — antihistamines alone are insufficient.
If a shooting range experiences a structure fire while students are present, the instructor's FIRST action should be:
Answer: Initiate evacuation of all personnel immediately
Life safety is always the first priority; all personnel must be evacuated immediately before any other actions are taken during a structure fire.
