webber Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Shoot without insurance at your perril. I have introduced many people to shooting over the years, and been pleased to act as countersignatory, but I do insist that they join BASC before I sign their form, and explain my reasoning. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Pat Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I agree with Kirky & Webber, I use BASC as they seem represent the type of rough and game shooting I do. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Up untill 2 weeks ago my gun was at the shop, just a deposit paid, and the shop owner used to take it to the shoot with him so I could have a go. He teaches and takes party bookings so I was covered by his blanket insurance. Now the gun is bought outright and in my posession, I hastely joined the CPSA on Friday to get insurance for shooting today (the NGO was another consideration, but the shooting ground is affiliated to the CPSA, so I thought 'keep it in the family' so to speak). I fly model aircraft as well. No insurance is required for that, but a 5 lb model plane travelling at 80 mph can do A LOT of damage and/or kill. The BMFA (British Model Flying Assoc.) provide similar indemnity as CPSA, BASC, NGO, etc. The British Kendo Assoc. also cover me for Iaido (a Japanese sword art - leave to the imagination the damage THOSE can do!!). I don't think there's any written law about insurance requirement in many sports/pastimes (unlike motor vehicles), but only a fool would do these things without it IMHO.
