Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or new to the world of fieldsports, joining a recognised shooting organisation can offer a wealth of advantages.
One of the most respected bodies in the UK is the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC), which works tirelessly to protect the rights of shooting enthusiasts while promoting safety, sustainability, and access.
Advocacy and Representation
BASC plays a vital role in representing the shooting community at both national and local levels. They engage with government bodies, policymakers, and the media to ensure that the voice of shooting is heard, particularly in legislative matters. In an ever-changing political landscape, having a strong advocate is essential to safeguarding the future of shooting sports in the UK.
Expert Advice and Support
Members of BASC benefit from expert guidance across a wide range of areas, including firearms licensing, gamekeeping, wildlife management, and conservation. Whether you’re seeking legal advice or need support with land management practices, BASC’s knowledgeable staff are on hand to assist.
Insurance Cover
One of the immediate practical benefits of membership is public liability insurance, which provides peace of mind when out in the field. This cover extends to shooting, gundog activities, fishing, and more – offering valuable protection for a wide variety of country pursuits.
Training and Resources
BASC offers a host of training courses and resources to help shooters develop their skills and knowledge. From firearms safety and deer management to sustainable shooting practices, these opportunities ensure members stay up-to-date with best practices and legislative requirements.
Community and Events
