The Policies provide cover for each member of The British Association for Shooting and Conservation Limited. The Policies cover recreational activities of wildfowling, stalking, the shooting of game, deer, vermin and any other lawful quarry, target shooting including clay shooting, airgunning, conservation, hawking, archery, angling and ferreting, gundog working and training (“BASC activities”).

Occasional sales

BASC recognises that some members sell part of their bag;for most peoplesales are occasional so cover is provided under the BASC members’ liability policies and they have nothing further to do.

Regular sales

Other members regularly sell part of their bag, and, for some,these sales can reach a more significant level even though their shooting activities are recreational. If any member’s small game[1]and/or large game[2] sales routinely reaches £300 in any period of a monththen BASC needs to be told, and by telling us that you are a regular seller of part of your bag means that BASCwill continue to insure you, free of any additional charge,as long as your shooting activities remaindemonstrably recreational. Simply complete and sign this form and either post it to BASC or email it to .

More significant sales

For membersshooting recreationallywhose income from the sale of their bag runs at a more-commercial level, exceeding £3,600 per year,an insurance cover extensionis available for a small additional premium. If you feel you could be in this category then please email us at or complete the application form and send it together with your remittance for £25 which will provide you with cover until the end of your current membership and will be included with future renewals. However, if your current membership has three or fewer months to run, this initial payment will continue to provide you with cover for the first 12 months after you renew[3].
