that’s because we have a multi million pound organisation which could easily defend shooting but it’s being run by incompetents so we have to suck up the antis lies because everyone is in denial 

Page after page, we keep hearing you mention ALL THIS MONEY  AND FIGHTING.

 HOW? How are BASC going to FIGHT exactly ?  You are yet to answer this question. HOW?  You never said.

Now now Clangerman; you are getting all hysterical again. No one has banned lead. You decry BASC at every opportunity and are cancelling your membership etc,  as well as sacking the board of directors if I remember correctly; but you dont seem to have read the BASC statement on lead, either that or you totally fail to understand it !

"We have a voluntary moritorium on the use of lead shot which will ultimately and inevitably  mean a legislated ban. Unfortunately, for those affected by this, the instigators of this current action failed to take into account any possible exceptions which could exist in terms of species and location and made it a blanket affair. This in turn means when it comes to the introduction of the legally enforceable replacement there is very little - if any at all - wriggle room available which would allow any sensible exceptions to prevail."

Copied the above from another topic as it's appropriate here.

We have a chicken (shooting) and the egg (associations) situation and because we ignore Aesop (in some countries the goose is a chicken) at our peril and when one considers what happened to the goose, it is quite easy to form an opinion that both it and we wish that it hadn't laid the eggs on the grounds that this fabled bird had already existed perfectly happily for a few centuries before it mistakingly did so. Game shooting will continue but under a different regime as will vermin control. It is just unfortunate that a culpable lack of foresight -  as indicated in the paragraph quoted above - has meant that in all probability the latter will suffer from greater restrictions than necessary in many cases. It is indeed unfortunate that the wealth generated by the goose's generosity was utilised elsewhere and little or none of it to the goose's benefit. It is to be hoped that the poor bird does not suffer the same fate for the same reason as Aesop described.

what are you asking me for you pay them not me to defend shooting 

With respect why should we the members answer your questions if you’re not interested enough to put a few££ into the kitty why ask our representative to answer your questions and why should a organisation with lots of £££fight for you if you’re not a member 

ask your organisation they made a joint decision

They do, but its clearly not satisfying you and clanger man is it. So enough questions lets be having some answers please . this fighting what do you want them to do. If it will make it any easier for you lets start with this very  topic. The Lead ban that is not a Lead ban.

  How would you have them present a good fight as you put it for LEAD.

Entitled to a view and a comment

what have you personally done to counter the anti attack?

Shooting has indeed been under atack for years, but BASC have always helped us where they could. I do not agree with you.

No one has banned lead, we want to work together to ensue shooting is seen as sustainable, and plan to deliver this over the next 5 years. Accept that some are not happy but for those that are complaining have you read and understood the threats coming from Europe? What we have done it to have done as much as we can to get on the front foot to control the situation
