Membership Benefits

Our services to members include:

Firearms

BASC has the UK's only full-time firearms team, offering help and advice on all firearms matters and protecting the lawful right to use sporting firearms.

Public affairs

We have forged cross-party links to ensure the voice of responsible shooting is heard. Our media team is improving public attitudes to shooting - and can help you bite back after negative publicity.

Insurance

Members automatically receive up to £10 million legal liability cover, £10 million employer's liability insurance and £10 million product liability cover when engaged in BASC - recognised activities (recreational activities only).

Gamekeeping

BASC is the only field sports body with a dedicated gamekeeping team, offering comprehensive advice on all aspects of game shooting including game, habitat and shoot management.

Stalking

BASC is taking the lead role in setting standards and providing training for professional and amateur stalkers. We can also provide access to stalking for our members via three stalking schemes in partnership with Forest Enterprise and North West Water.

Training

BASC promotes the highest standards of safety for shooting and related activities. All our coaches and assessors are quality assured by independent national awarding bodies.

Conservation

We robustly defend our belief that the shooting community plays a major role in conservation. BASC works to safeguard shooting opportunities and develop best practice in wildlife conservation and land management.

Research

Authoritative research underpins BASC's role as the champion of sporting shooting, improves advice offered to members and ensures the wise use of quarry species.
