Yes they did, BUT it was at a time when everyone had to be seen to be P.C. You would be surprised how many town dwellers thought and still think today, that a clay pigeon is actually a bird. This was at the time when the Commonwealth Games was coming to Manchester and at the AGM it was proposed to change the name to Target instead of Pigeon, to try and dispel the myths. After a vote, it was dropped and that was that. Around that time I ran a small shooting ground and we used the term 'target' instead of pigeon because of the local Councils stance on Country Sports.

Yes they do, they are very critical of most of the bigger and better known organisations. Glad you've joined. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatureBoy Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 C.R.T Countryside Restoration Trust also well worth supporting! They do good stuff showing by example. Robin page pulls no punches either. He gets stuck in to Packham and co. He's accused Packhams lot of trying to infiltrate CRT in past.

Anglo Posted June 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 FYI, I went with Country Cover Club in the end, as a non-political option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I will ditch SACS in December when my renewal is due and join CPSA (Clay Pigeon Shooting Association) as their insurance covers gun use not only for clay shooting but live quarry shooting from pigeon, to game, to deer stalking).

Stimo22 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Good luck with CPSA, as our club had a major problem and we had over a dozen of their members. They would not answer emails, phone messages or letters. Only person we had contact was the one who wanted our money, they were worse than useless. On the other hand BASC did all they could to help, even though it was a clay club. They were very helpful. I know that the lead issue has peed a lot of shooters, but most other organisations had done the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Thanks STOMO22 it's only when PW members post on their less than happy experiences that others get an overall picture of how an association performs. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Insurance cover really is a minefield to have to walk through. I am a member of nearly all the shooting associations so have cover from all of them . Surprise , surprise , in the small print most policies say that you cannot claim off them if you have other policies???????? BASC Insurance cover is administered by David Ilsley (BASC DAVID on this forum) absolutely top bloke to deal with but he is only as good as the BASC Insurance providers allow him to be , he is honest and fair . As they say in post sales items 'Buyer Beware ' . You only find out how good your insurance cover is when you need to make a claim . Stay Safe , Good shooting is no accident , better still is not having one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
