Journalist’s guide

BASC has created an interactive online guide to shooting to help journalists better understand the numerous different disciplines and benefits that result from shooting.

A link to the guide – Shooting – the facts for journalists – is regularly sent to journalists interested in covering shooting topics and gets sent to every newsroom in the UK at the start of August.

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.
