Hi,

I post this here as it relates to a lot more of us. I read that there were some " changes " at BASC brought about by some " inetrnal problems ".
Is it still a viable organisation so far as the protection of the rights of the airgun community and shooting in general is concerned? I joined them last year as I wanted to go for my FAC and thought this and having been a full member of a pistol and rifle club might help, I have since changed my mind.
I am not sure what is going on with them now. Does anyone know please?

If your reasons for joint BASC are solely to aid FAC application and insurance reasons you'd be best not bothering IMHO.

When you fully understand the benefits and are prepared to support the bigger picture then maybe you'll reconsider.

I understand your reluctance given the current press however remember that a juicy story is the only one worth printing so if the papers have to sprinkle a little garnish to sell papers then so be it.
