8 shot Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Had a quick read of the latest issue BASC comic at lunchtime, gone full on scaremongering on lead shot and public health this month, seem the environment claims have been a little bit undone by a report of 1500 nature reserves in 68 countries being no better than any other land not in reserves. Game shooting is hanging in the balance at the moment with Covid the last couple of years and now bird flu and the cost of rearing. They do seem to want to cut off the hand that feeds them.

I imagine their stand ( I’m assuming they’ll be there ) at Harrogate will be busy this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxum Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Now the HSE are involved & have an axe to grind the use of lead ammunition will be banned irrespective of potential risk.Clay shoots, Target gun clubs et al take note ,they will be coming! Their funding is now raised mainly from fines/ prosecution . The government funding of this organisation was dramatically changed a few years ago to a self funding model.

Lets hope so, i'll bet there's not one senior member of staff there, they'll throw the new younger reps out there to face the roth of the shooting commuity. Hopefully it will be like agricultures Red Tractor cartell and noboby will want to work for them, and will just fail to be significant🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
