Journalists’ guide

BASC has issued the latest version of its interactive online guide to shooting for journalists, ahead of the start of the grouse season on August 12.

The start of the grouse season is one which traditionally sees BASC’s communications team receive a high number of media enquiries and the aim of the guide is to give them the facts at their fingertips.

It will also help journalists better understand the numerous economic, environmental and social benefits of shooting.

The comprehensive guide features sections on sporting shooting, sporting firearms, information on licensing, young people, conservation and game as food.

It features a series of infographics, hyperlinks and links to BASC films.
