															We were delighted once again to be back at the New Forest Show after a three-year break.
The show attracted over 80,000 visitors with everything from the Atkinson Action Horses, Pony Club Mounted Games and the fantastic grand parade of livestock.
The focus of the show was very much on “interactive educational activities” the the whole family could get involved and the BASC stand certainly delivered.
Our #BacktoSchool educational zone, which included a venison jigsaw and ‘What’s in the box’, proved very popular, while our shooting simulator delivered over 300 introductions to shooting over the three days.
The Langstone and District Wildfowlers and Dorset Wildfowlers, who are celebrating their 70th anniversary this year, were also on hand to discuss all things wildfowling.

We are pleased to announce that Let’s Learn Moor – the UK’s largest upland education event – will take place again this summer.

Everything is better with friends and shooting is no exception, as Jess Smith reveals. She recently took a friend on a shoot day and it was a truly unforgettable experience for both.
