If you hire yourself out as a loader, coach, pest controller, stalker/deer manager, etc., you are not insured under the BASC insurance policy and you will need to make your own arrangements. Our shooting coaches and professionals policy covers a wide range of activities as standard and can be extended to include additional activities if required.
