The digital revolution has transformed the way we do business and communicate in our daily lives.

GunsOnPegs and RodsOnRivers now has over 85,000 members combined and continues to grow steadily. It is from this membership alongside the expertise of Strutt & Parker that we are able to conduct a substantial survey on game shooting and fishing.

During the last 12 months we have held regional seminars across the UK, meeting with a wide cross-section of providers in order to consult with them on what information they would find useful to learn about the shooting and fishing communities.

We hope this census provides guidance to the providers as well as useful information to those that buy shooting and fishing. We find that shooting is a sport that is experiencing growth at all levels, but fishing, particularly for salmon in the UK, is facing some considerable challenges.

The survey has been completed by over 3,000 respondents with a consistent demographic to the previous surveys in 2013 and 2014. This year we have endeavoured to examine international participation and we are pleased that 6% of the respondents are from outside the UK.

Shooting and fishing involve people from all walks of life and acts as a substantial contributor to the economy. The results contain useful information to substantiate this position.
