Does anyone know if basc releases numbers of medal Billy’s that have been shot like cic do with other beasts?

Hi everyone, I've been interested in stalking for 10 years or so, and managed to do the DSC1 4 years ago. Since then I've been on about 15 accompanied stalks on estates in Devon / Hampshire. Would love to join a syndicate / find my own ground (that's the dream), and currently working towards...

Unfortunately I didn't renew my BASC before checking the Members Deals on a Ford Custom van...😖 Is a current member happy to tell me what Ford discounts are currently available? I was with the BASC for over 10 years... whether Tyson Cooper would waive the one year membership if I were to renew...

On the BASC website, it says expanding ammo reverts to Sec 1 from May 2nd, 2017. I currently have FAC for target ammo only and was about to go through the prolonged variation process. Does it mean that from 2nd May onwards, people like me (who only have target ammo on FAC) can freely buy...

Hi all - I have shot since I was 6 years old (.22 and 12 bore - farming background). Cadets, followed by 'march and shoot' competitions as a civilian. Competitive prone .22 at university.

Hello everyone. I did a search on the biz manager at BASC a few minutes ago and it brought me to this forum. I see that one of the regular contributors was a candidate a couple of years ago but was not successful. I also noted his final post on the subject that reported how few members actually...

Hello everyone. I've been shooting for a while (shot gun) and recently took the plunge and booked some deer stalking in Sussex. Had a fantastic time and I have caught the bug. Immediately booked myself on the BASC DSC1 course in March (11) so looking forward to working towards that. Hope to be...

Latest variation just went through in just over 8 weeks - I was told it could take up to 12 weeks, so am thoroughly chuffed! I just wanted to comment that Sussex FLD were thoroughly helpful and professional - I've had my licence a while and have always made the effort to be polite and patient...
