This weekend I took the NRA range safety (RSO) training and it was strongly recommended to get basic First Aid/CPR training. I took FA/CPR years ago but have signed up for a refresher class.
Questions about FA training for range use:
1. Is there additional FA live or online training that is tailored to shooting use, and that I should definitely get? Browsed some of the WFA and EMT-related training courses in my area, and these looked useful. But all I saw that go beyond basic FA/CPR are spread out over multiple days or weeks, and may be overkill for what I'm doing.
2. Any worthwhile books/videos on FA/CPR that I should use to complement the FA course? Currently I have Medicine for the Outdoors (http://www.amazon.com/Medicine-Outdoors-Essential-Emergency-Procedures/dp/0323068138) for reference.
3. Should I get liability insurance for cases where I'm acting as an RSO and might need to provide medical help? They taught us that "Good Samaritan" laws in WA state prevent us from being charged as long as we try to help someone within the limits of our training. But just because you cannot be criminally charged by the state, does not stop an individual or their family from filing civil suits against you.
