The British Association for Shooting and Conservation

The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) is the UK’s largest shooting organisation, representing over 150,000 members and working to protect the interests of shooting, and conserve the countryside.

For more than 100 years our organisation has served the shooting community, on the ground, in the media and in the political arena, protecting our sport and the wildlife habitats we are all intrinsically connected to and responsible for.

We promote sustainable shooting practices, offer comprehensive advice, training and education programmes, implement wide-ranging conservation initiatives and safeguard the interests of shooting through our engagement with decision makers in Westminster, the devolved UK parliaments and Brussels.

The BASC team is looking forward to meeting guests at the World Gunmakers’ Evening and discussing current issues affecting the gun trade, including proposed changes to firearms licensing and fees and the ongoing developments in general licences.
