activeviii Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Shoot insurance. what sort of costs are we all paying and who with. Basically, one area of land the the shoot go on is owned by someone else and the owners are asking that everyone is insured. basically covering their public liability insurance we guess, The shoot is a 7 gun syndicate plus the captain gets a plus one each time. only 10 days total and a beaters day. The 7 guns are all insured. the shoot captain uses his employee insurance for the beaters when their on his land but the problem is when on this other little patch that gets pushed though the beaters are not covered. all the beaters that carry guns are insured under their own insurance. no insurance then they cant shoot as it stands. the plus one is also a problem as its normally an old boy farmer who shoots jut that one day a year so doesnt have insurance. How much is insurance<they have looked into it with BASC and £750 was mentioned. this is a 20 bird day, 10 times a season shoot. shoestring budget i guess.

Scotty99 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Get your 7 guns insured as a syndicate with BASC costs should be about £70 x 7 = £490 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Get your 7 guns insured as a syndicate with BASC costs should be about £70 x 7 = £490 It was looked into and they wanted £750. Plus they need their own insurance for other forms of shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty99 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Check that again with BASC, on ours we each pay about £70 and we each get an individual named BASC membership card that we can use anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 They checked last week and was given a shocking price what what they told me. So they have no interest in basc but thanks anyway. I said I would ask about other companies like ngo, sacs, farmers union and such so would be good to hear from people using the other companies.

shoot and be safe Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Sacs do a syndicate insurance. According to their website, there is a minimum amount of 6 guns needed. https://www.sacs.org.uk/insurance Edited June 11, 2017 by shoot and be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.223 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 i have just set up my syndicates Policy with Basc cost was £70 a gun which covers them for their personal insurance too. this also covers any guests on the shoot along as you record their personal details before the day. try contacting their membership department and ask to speak to Joy Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 It looks like we will be swapping from the CA to CCC. A big saving on cost, on the face of it very similar policies for half the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix's rifle Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 spoke to SACS and its £30 a head for the guns, beaters and employees are all covered. That's not bad that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 That's not bad that! plus, if a guest turns up, you just need to text, email, phone or fax thier name to SACS, before a shot is fired, and they will also be covered. Its £30 as they are all over 65. you need 6 people to be a group. not a bad price at all. i have been with sacs for years so i dont know why i didnt phone them earlier.
