Expert advice and practical support

BASC members benefit from direct access to specialist teams offering expert guidance across all aspects of shooting and conservation. From firearms licensing and game management to pest control and shooting etiquette, our regional experts are here to help you stay informed, compliant, and confident this season.

Our codes of practice and training courses ensure members uphold the highest standards, while our dedicated firearms team provides confidential, impartial advice, even liaising with licensing departments on your behalf when needed.

Conservation in action

Membership with BASC means actively contributing to the protection and enhancement of the countryside. Through research, habitat management, and hands-on projects like duck nest monitoring and woodland surveys, BASC is leading the way in sustainable shooting and conservation.

Initiatives including the BASC Wildlife Fund and Green Shoots mapping demonstrate how shooting can deliver real benefits for biodiversity and rural landscapes.

Shaping the future of shooting

BASC is your voice in Westminster and the devolved parliaments. We work across party lines to champion shooting sports, influence policy, and protect your rights as a responsible shooter. From briefing MPs to leading the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Shooting and Conservation, BASC ensures your interests are heard where it matters most.

We also invest in education and outreach, supporting the next generation of gamekeepers and wildlife managers through scholarships, training, and curriculum development.
