[edit] History
The Sportsman's Association was formed in 1996 to campaign for the right of sports shooters to own handguns. This was limited following the Dunblane Massacre when Thomas Hamilton killed 16 children and their teacher using legally-held pistols.
Membership figures are 4000 - 4500 (2008)
[edit] Policy
The Sportsman's Association exists to fight for the restoration of target pistol shooting as a legitimate sport and for fair and effective firearms legislation.
We also seek to defend shooting and other field sports against further unnecessary restriction by the authorities and to defend freedom of choice to pursue one's chosen sporting activity by:
Lobbying MPs, The Home Office & Parliament on behalf of our members.
Free advice on licensing matters to members of SAGBNI.
Free advice on game & deer stalking.
Postal competitions for both members & non-members.
Public liability insurance for members of SAGBNI.
Advice on firearms & ammunition.
Trade members offering discount to SAGBNI members.
