The editor invites you to a fantastic day of airgun shooting – built around you!
For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to put on a celebration of airgun shooting, where shooters can come and enjoy the best aspects of our sport. I'm pleased to announce that, following a recent meeting, I've been given the go-ahead to turn my dream into reality and create that day at my club on Bisley Camp in Surrey. I truly can't tell you how excited I am about this, and how much I'd like you to share the day with us.
A day for everyone
The idea is to build the day around our readers and their many interests - hunting, FT and HFT, vintage airguns/collecting, pistols, and those who'd just like some personal tuition to help them improve their shooting. The Bisley Field Target Organisation is the perfect venue for such an occasion, surrounded as it is by those historic ranges and club houses and set in 3000 acres of our shooting heritage.
Who can take part?
This day has primarily been set up for BASA members and their friends, and numbers are limited, but if space is available, the day will be open to all. We're planning on holding more of these days and we'd like to get as many of our readers as possible to enjoy them with us, so watch these pages for news.
How much will it cost?
The price has been fixed at £75 per shooter, but BASA members get a £10 discount on that. Each BASA member can bring a friend, who also gets the discount, so the tickets work out at £65 each.
What will I get for that?
First and foremost, you'll get one-to-one coaching/advice in the part of your hobby that most interests you. We'll be bringing experts from Air Gunner and Airgun World, plus others, and we are totally convinced that, whatever you're into, you'll be much better at it by the time the day is over. Personal coaching is an incredibly effective means of swift, significant improvement, and this day will set the foundation for techniques that will last you a lifetime. Yes, really!
And there's more!
In addition to this, you'll spend a day among great people from all areas of our sport, in historic surroundings - with food, drink, limitless banter and some take-home goodies provided. There will be more, too, and every month, right up until our September mag, we'll feature an update on the event, as the event takes shape. For now, clear a day in your diary for Tuesday, September 17 - and watch this space!
