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

Snouts and troughs seems to be the common denominator.

The UKPSA has written the following response to the lead consultation. Please use the information therein to write your own response to the consultation

The UKPSA has now released a basic guide on how to fill in the HSE Consultation on the banning of lead ammunition. The ban as proposed currently would mean the end for PSG, huge cost increases to all other shotgun shooting and no doubt continuing restriction on all other types of shooting. The UKPSA guide notes are here; https://www.ukpsa.co.uk/respond-to-the- ... 18ckvJnz8g

When the dust has settled on this make sure you can look back and say 'I did my bit'.

Responses have to be in by 10th December.

I've completed this twice, once as an individual shooter and as a club secretary some time ago.

Officialdom wants private ownership of firearms to be prohibited and the proposed lead ban is rather convenient and will make it easier to reduce numbers further.

it was actually quite good to be able to answer a question without it being an incredibly led question with only a yes or no option.

I had the opposite impression of it to be honest. Who is going to sit there and read every response to every question? Made me think it was a box ticking exercise and they don't care about the responses at all.

That's what plenty of people said about the first part of the consultation and 2,800 responses out of a shooting population of 4,000,000 crippled them for 8 months They will have a Bot skim the responses for duplications/obvious cut and pastes but they will need to show at some level that they have read the responses.

Thanks to all for the links. Feedback given (again).

If it was a box ticking exercise, you'd actually have boxes to tick. For the most part, it's not asking for a box to be ticked at all.
