BASC Wales aims to provide a public voice for shooting and conservation in Wales with cross-party support in the Welsh Assembly Government. The team campaigns on the issues affecting shooting and conservation in Wales through balanced coverage in the Welsh media. We work to defend the freedom of private firearms ownership, promote healthy quarry populations and habitats and encourage access to shooting in Wales. We are here to provide expert advice and encourage higher standards in shooting.
