Sweet11-87 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 im a basc member and for the most part support what they do. this sacs orginisation, honest question what do they do?. are they at the courtcases, legal actions and promotions for the sport or are they just an insurance firm for people who have a bad taste for basc?. not wanting to start a fight more intrested in fact as ill support both if they are somthing more. already been on the website and its all generic they got to make it themselves afterall.

Thank you BASC. Thank you for posting positive feedback on the help you received. That is very good of you to do so. The BASC bashers will always be a vocal minority on the forums, for reasons only known to themselves why they spend their time trying to put down BASC online rather than spend that time online supporting shooting, whilst BASC continues to do great work for so many across all the shooting disciplines as per video and 2022 annual review below.

udderlyoffroad Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 “The man from BASC” was very helpful when he visited our DIY syndicate. And it’s as pointless as broken pencil to point this out but; BASC proposed a voluntary phase out of lead & single use plastic - albeit with terrible PR - not a ban. But that nuance was lost on people at the time & clearly remains so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that nuance was lost on people at the time & clearly remains so. agreed. the plan was to show that the shooting community can be flexible and reasonable and at the same time control the situation on our terms on what was clearly coming down the line to us anyway. ok it wasnt handled as well as it could have been, but realistically without basc wed be in a bit of a situation becasue who would have squared away the GL issue a few years back or the countless none starter court cases by packham. theyre also still pressing on about licencing turn around times. self fufilling prophersy not suporting the only organisation with any really clout thats on our side. i ask again whats SACS all about becasue if they have some clout or talk some sense ill become a member of that too.
