Defra is currently reviewing gamebird rearing, release and shooting in England, with submissions closing on the 1st of November. What Defra hears through this review will help inform future policy.
This could affect more than game shooting. It could have implications for the wider shooting and fieldsports community, as well as the livelihoods, businesses and rural communities connected to it.
At West London Shooting School, we believe it is important that the experiences of those involved in shooting and fieldsports are heard. Whether you shoot, work in the industry, run a shoot or rural business, manage land, beat, pick up, train gundogs or have first-hand experience of shooting, your opinion matters!
Please take around 10 minutes to share your experience and show what shooting means to your wellbeing, friendships, physical activity and time outdoors, and have your say on behalf of yourself, West London Shooting School and the wider fieldsports community.
Send your views to: [email protected]
BASC also asks that you copy [email protected] so they can track engagement and use the evidence to inform their response.
Please don’t leave it until the deadline.
