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.
The first meeting of the Cross-party Group on Shooting and Conservation in Wales covered predator management and the sale of game meat.
BASC has received ministerial confirmation which quashes claims that country sports will be banned in Wales by 2024.
The condition would impact young and future farmers, conservationists and pest controllers who require general licences in work and training.
Thank you to all the competitors and volunteers who joined us for the BASC 410 World Championships 2021 at Dovey Valley Shooting Ground last month. Congratulations to our new World Champion Mike Jones and to the winners of all the categories who all won cartridges generously provided by our event sponsor Eley Hawk Ltd.
