BASC has joined other shooting and rural organisations in publishing a joint statement this week on the continued five-year transition towards sustainable ammunition.

“Significant progress has been made, such as the manufacturers’ development of new sustainable and biodegradable products, but it will take time for people to continue to adapt.”
