An introduction to the different shooting disciplines and the team behind the scenes on shoots
BASC promotes high standards and best practice in shooting by publishing a range of codes of practice, many of which go above and beyond the requirements of the law.
The historical development of firearms has added to the English language over the years. Expressions such as “lock, stock and barrel”, “a flash in the pan” and “hot-shot” all relate to guns.
