Top sporting agents offer exclusive days through BGA member shoots

The British Game Alliance (BGA)’s Assurance Scheme is going from strength to strength as key sporting agents and shoot managers have committed to offering days exclusively on BGA Member Shoots from the start of the 2023 game season.

At a time when many in the shooting community are feeling under pressure, this is further evidence that the sector is embracing BGA shoot assurance as a crucial tool for protecting the future of game shooting.

In an unprecedented display of unity in support of effective self-regulation, prominent estates and nearly every sporting agency in the UK have signed the a memorandum of understanding as follows:

 “The following sporting agents and shoot managers have committed to a goal of offering sporting days exclusively on shoots and estates that are members of the British Game Alliance from the start of the 2023 season. This will ensure that the promoted venues are all participating in the independently audited assurance scheme, demonstrating that the shooting sector is adhering to best practice at all times.”

The memorandum has been signed by sporting agencies including:

• Roxtons
