BASA or BASC

[SNAKEBITE]

Infact as soon as they have got the money you are covered, even before you get the paperwork!

 

The only bad thing is that you cannot get proof of insurance as they only do that for live rounds.

 

I think thats right isn't it AXE?

Why not the NGO as a supporter member? you get the insurance and you are supporting keepers.

Not quite Snakebite, the letter you refer to is the endorsement letter drafted for full membership, to present to landowners etc to prove your validity of insurance. They do not currently have a similar letter drafted for Airgunners which is why I had to upgrade.

 

If its just insurance people are after, then any of the organsiations offering insurance will suffice. If you want to be heard and voice an opinion then BASC, for me, is the only option as they are recognised as the voice of shooting, by the government. It doesnt give the other organsiations a fair chance I know, but thats life.

BASC for me every time

 

If you go for full membership then you are covered what ever you do

Airguns, Shotguns, Firearms, Gamekeeping, Dog handlers, Beaters

Even if your dog runs of and bites somebody

 

As well BASC are the only organisation to lobby parliament to protect our sport

 

They organise Youngshot days at Nonprofit to keep it cheep, for the young uns to have a taste at a vast amount of country activities and to introduce new blood to our sport

 

I could sit here all day writing list upon list of the good points about BASC

 

Go up to any land owner gamekeeper shoot organiser and say "Who's BASC?"

They will know straight away who you are talking about

 

BASC RULES

at the moment i am not a member of any,whitch one would you say is the best i did not rejoin the basc this year.

The clay pigeon shooting association (CPSA) is only about £26 or there about, can't remember the correct amount but it won't be far out, it gives you the same insurance as BASC for any shooting sport and is a lot cheaper if cost is an issue, the BASC membership gives you a better magazine etc and is a good organisation if you are not bothered about the extra cost. But join one for the insurance alone it's a must.
