Conor O'Gorman Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 BASC's latest blog, by Will Pocklington, our head of publications, is a must read for anyone who shoots and uses social media. This season, stay safe, shoot straight, and think before you post online. The last thing we want is for a well-intentioned picture – or comment, for that matter – to rub up the wrong way those members of the public who have no real axe to grind with fieldsports.

It’s not just about us posting but giving others opportunities to show Shooting is not taking social distancing, for example, seriously. It only needs a member of the public on a footpath, or here in Scotland anywhere, to take a shot of guns, beaters or pickers up apparently flouting the rules and that could be it for all of us.

figgy Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 If you look at the pictures taken of people on the beach you would think they were all within touching distance of eachother, yet when looked at from a different angle they were meters from eachother. A picture can lie, no matter who takes it be gun or public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I held my tongue Saturday when playing golf, lesson happening and one chap i play with said, strange thats not a hunting group, how are they outside. I calmly said. Its sport so it is allowed to be in a large group, made no ref to his silly comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
