The BASC (British Association for Shooting and Conservation)insure members to the tune of 5 million third party public, 10 million employer liability and £5 million product liability for all shooting activities.
It costs £57 per year and I do not know any shoot who will have a shooter who is not a BASC member on the turf.
If I have people to shoot with me, membership of BASC is a non-negotiable part of the deal.
Stats are great aren't they - UK shooters are more likely to get injured or die in the bath than in the shooting field!
I agree with Eug that compulsory training can be used an an excuse to curb shooters' freedoms but I also believe thet most people benefit from training - even those who think they know it all.
I would say that wouldn't I? I'm a teacher!
