Coaching

Whether you want to try airgun or shotgun shooting for the first time or would like to improve your skills, BASC coaching lines provide the perfect opportunity.

Run by BASC-accredited coaches, the lines can be found at game fairs and county shows across the UK where lessons can be enjoyed for a small fee.

Shotgun coaching lines

Each lesson includes:

Gun fit
Eye dominance check
Stance and style
Shooting fault analysis
Correcting any faults
Advice to novice and experienced participants

The cost is £20 for adults, and £15 for 16 and under. BASC members are entitled to a £5 discount on production of a valid membership card.

We also offer the BASC Shotgun Safe Shot Assessment at each show. The assessment gives you the chance to demonstrate a confident and safe use of shotguns in a field-based situation.

The assessment takes about 20 minutes and costs only £20.
