BASC launches new social media guide
BASC’s new social media guide is designed to help you share your passion online in a way that promotes understanding, respect and highlights the benefits shooting delivers.
With social media playing an ever-increasing role in shaping public perceptions, BASC has launched a new social media guide to equip members and the wider sector with the tools to protect the reputation of shooting.Â
The guide encourages you to engage positively with audiences, promote the sport’s vital role in conservation and sustainability, and show people what rural life is all about.
A forward-thinking approach for a changing world
Shooting has a long and proud heritage, but it also has a modern and evolving audience. This guide is designed to support anyone involved in shooting now, while also ensuring it remains relevant, inclusive and accessible to future generations.Â
Within our social media guide you’ll find practical advice on:
- Positive storytelling – Showcasing the environmental, economic, and social contributions of shooting.
- Political engagement – Advice on engaging local politicians to help them understand the value of shooting in their constituencies.
- Applying context – Ensuring posts include explanations that make sense to non-shooters.
- Respectful representation – Avoiding sensationalism and instead showcasing the ethical and skilful aspects of shooting.
- Engagement and education – Using social media to inform the public about shooting’s role in sustainability and rural life.
- Community values – Promoting camaraderie, inclusivity, and the well-being aspects of the sport.
- Security and legal awareness – Understanding platform guidelines, privacy settings, and potential legal risks.
