As part of the Gunstar team, we would like to consider ourselves the ‘pros’ for everything shooting related. Whether you are looking to browse Guns, read up on the latest news or sell a gun or accessory, Gunstar can help. However, there’s plenty more for the shooting community, out there on the web and we wouldn’t want you to miss out... So, if you’re part of the community, a gun enthusiast or new to the sport, we thought we’d share with you some of the best forums to get stuck into. Here are some of the best out there to help you stay in touch with the sport:

 

 

 

1) Pigeon Watch

Pigeon Watch started as a forum for shooters to discuss everything related to the search of the woodpigeon. Over the years the site has grown to cover other aspects of country sports, including ferreting, airgunning, dog work, rifle shooting, clay pigeon shooting, angling, and gamekeeping. Pigeon Watch now hosts a national community of sportsmen and women who share the same passion of the country sports. Currently, there are 38,000 active accounts on the list, so plenty of discussions to be had!
