wymberley Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Intended to wait until closer to the time running out but will now be shooting then. Based on the premise that PW membership reflects the attitude of the general wider shooting population, that was a good/clever move and you've (BASC) cracked it. Done ne'er-the-less.

wymberley Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Two weeks on from the survey closure date is it too soon to give an idea/ballpark indication of the results obtained? Edited August 29, 2023 by wymberley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for completing the survey. We raised awareness of the survey in lots of ways - including on PW.

My gut is giving me a feeling about this but will say no more until the server situation has cleared up as it's making any conversation somewhat difficult.

Once again, many thanks. The only question I have can be answered simply by a 'yes' or 'no' (handy until the server problem is sorted). Everything seems to be happening all at once. I think the expression is 'burying the bad news'. For such an important topic, I can't fathom why BASC would initiate a survey having just a 9 day response duration in the middle of the summer holiday and while the ladies are kicking a ball about in a world championship which had grabbed everyone's attention and expect a comprehensive response. It's beginning to seem to me that education/training is in vogue although I'm happy to be proven wrong as it's only a vague gut feeling. The question is, is BASC involved in, or have any knowledge of, any moves to introduce either mandatory or voluntary training/education which may or may not be associated with firearms licence applications? This interest should not be taken as any opinion which I may or may not have on the matter which I reserved for the survey in question.

wymberley Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Asking out of interest as the subject is the same, has anyone read the Letters Column in the current KtB magazine and specifically the prize letter and the editorial response to another letter?
