BASC survey - voluntary transition away from lead shot for live quarry shooting

[Conor O'Gorman]

As we enter the fifth year of the voluntary transition away from lead shot for live quarry shooting we would like to know your opinions. Have your views on lead, or the transition itself, changed in any way? We will ask you several questions about your shooting activities, your views on available ammunition, and any concerns you might still have regarding the transition or use of non-lead ammunition.

We are asking all active live quarry shooters to take part in our Lead Shot Transition Survey. Your views are important to us and will help shape our plans. The survey is annoymous, and your details will not be shared with anyone outside of the Association.

You have until midday on Wednesday 17 January to complete it.

Hi Connor this is the same survey talked about in the previous thread. Nothing new here. Issues with this survey are:

1. Very little to do with stalking and rifles.

2. If you tick stalking then your views will not be counted.

Please can BASC represent the majority on this STALKING FORUM and not the driven shooting fraternity. ( I recognise many in her do both)

Apparently because I only shoot deer I am not shooting live quarry. Says it all really.

Thanks, the survey is about the voluntary transition away from lead shot for live quarry shooting. Its not about rifle ammo. However, thanks for taking an interest in the survey. As regards your other point I have posted an update on the deer consultation in Scotland, and I post about other things also. I am not BASC, I am a member of BASC and I work for BASC and I post on here where and when I get spare time to do so about various topics, and I do appreciate the feedback on the forum on topics deer related and everything else. Hope that helps.

As per above reply to @big ears the survey is about the voluntary transition away from lead shot for live quarry shooting. Its not about rifle ammo.

Thanks for doing so, and others have not, and this thread has encouraged more responses as per comments above.

involuntary or forced would be a better description.

 

[palmer_mike]

involuntary or forced would be a better description.

Indeed, imposed upon the membership without consultation?

 

[Smellydog]

So what happens when the survey shows that the voluntary move away from lead is very involuntary and thus not happening?
