The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

I take as I find, just as you do.

I find the "national" organisations wanting in every respect, I wish it were not so.

If you get something from them that benefits your shooting then I am glad for you, it seems from these type of posts that any criticism of the "national" bodies is not accepted. It is time that they realise that not everyone thinks that they have any value as national organisations, that is based on what they do, or mainly don't do.

I make no apologies for expressing my views which are based on my experience of these bodies, if some of their members choose to take offence at that then that is their choice, I am a NRA member and I am not offended by my views, the NRA failing to represent my interests does offend me.

My record will change when the "national" organisations record improves.

At the club insurance level, I am currently having problems with the NSRA.....requesting personal details for all members and threatening that the club insurance may be invalid if personal members details are not provided. Most of my members have individual NRA membership and should be ok, but some do not have individual membership.
Why would the NSRA want members e mail details and phone numbers when all correspondence goes to the club secretary.....answers on a postcard.

I thought that issue was resolved last year?

I have public liability insurance through The Shooters Rights Association and they provide £10 million cover for virtually every shooting discipline including air-soft and archery.

Aren't the main ones underwritten by Lycetts anyway? So you might as well pick the one your politics lie with.

Anyone got Gunplan insurance at £22.50?

Seems a bargain for 10million liability cover

Worth checking what it covers.. I nearly signed up for one and couldn't find any documents before so contacted them..

Turns out muzzle loaders were not covered so a none starter for me as this is the one discipline I am likely to lose a limb or harm someone else :-)

I use these https://www.ccc3.co.uk/insurance

Not sure if anyone has heard of or are using Countryside Alliance for insurance. They seem to have some good deals and offer quite good cover.

As always, check carefully..

According to their summary, if you stop at the supermarket and something happens, unless you can prove it was a refreshment break you are on your own.

The last was tongue in cheek, but they also do not specifically mention black powder..

The last insurer I queried did not cover it, and since the most likely scenario in which I would claim is the firearms that involve pouring gunpowder into a pipe, I didn't see any advantage to paying up.

Insurance is no better than gambling.. you are betting you will have an acident, they are betting you won't.
