jonevo Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Quite a few people are steering clear of BASC, as they dont seem to be very supportive in their legal dept. I am not too happy with what I have also experienced and I will be joining another organisation who do seem to be supportive of shooting and the shooters rights. http://www.nationalgamekeepers.org.uk/join-the-ngo/ Just £30 will give you: •Your voice for gamekeeping •Four Keeping the Balance magazines per year •Third party insurance* to £10 million •Local educational and social activities Our objectives: •Representing gamekeeping •Assisting gamekeepers •Ensuring quality in gamekeeping •Helping to defend field sports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyblanco Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I am with the NGO and have been happy as I was with BASC although I have never really had a cause to use advice or insurance:good: BASC seem to blow a lot of cash on flashiness, kinda like new Labour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Interestingly or not, aside from supporting BASC as the largest and best organised pro-shooting organisation, it was the little things that have been of benefit to me: 1. group discount for syndicate membership (as a group) 2. range days out (plus running the range certificiation course and stalkers test at the same gig) 3. the fact that the BASC shooting insurance covered wild boar in Croatia - at the time I checked all the other shooting organisations and none of their policies covered this. 4. firearms advice - obviously to get this advice you have to be a paid up member of BASC 5. a decent quarterly mag which is a brilliant bog read 6. DavidBASC - the man with the patience of a saint. It's worth joining BASC to chip in for his wages because **** me he earns them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenshooter Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Whenever anyone asks for advice, it is usually the BASC that is recommended due to their vast range of advice sheets etc. Have a look at all the options, see what they offer and how they are supporting shooting and make your own mind up. But rest assured, we need a proactive shooting organisation (and BASC is the one for me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 David BASC has my vote as well . I sure he would proberbly make a better prime minister than any of them who are in the frame . Join BASC . Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 http://www.ccc3.org.uk/?page=home You don't have to pay anyone's wages For £20 you will not get any better insurance policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyblanco Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Depending on your area the NGO offers regular days/evenings out, I usually get one a month which could be anything from reloading demo's and advice to test drives on quads all in your local area. Decent magazine too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% and BASC is recognised by many landowners and could help in obtaining shoots- it has done for me Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudpatten Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Join BASC. Apart from insurance that is specifically tailored for shooting you are also buying into an association that has some political clout with all the major parties. The NGO has no political clout whatsoever and the CA only with the Tories. In these hung parliamentary times this fact might be more important than you first think.
