Fieldsports organisations back move to end lead-shot game The announcement by the The National Game Dealers Association (NGDA) that its members will not accept lead-shot game from next year has been welcomed by fieldsports bodies including the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC), Countryside Alliance (CA), British Game Alliance (BGA) and Game Farmers’ Association (GFA). Retailers had been warning that the public were becoming increasingly averse to lead-shot game, an observation noted by CEO of the British Game Alliance (BGA), Liam Stokes. He commented: “The British Game Alliance supported the shooting sector’s commitment to a five year phase-out of lead precisely because the stockists and retailers of BGA Assured Game were telling us that they would not tolerate lead-shot birds for long.
