Well I guess it'll depend on what you're interested in. Reviews of the latest wondergun? Historical stuff? Technical HOWTOs? Reloading p0rn?

UPDATE: Anvil and C&Rsenal are my 2 favs.

Almost all of it, from my perspective, is two minutes of information packed into a twenty minute format. When I'm looking for actual information, I vastly prefer to read it. One exception: disassembling/reassembling something complex, where actually seeing it done has real value.

When I'm just looking for entertainment, with perhaps some slight bit of information included, I enjoy Hickock45, Capandball, and the longhunter/historical trekking/flintlock channels like Townsends - but that's not exactly mainstream gun stuff.

I will say that I like Paul Harrell's channel and have actually learned a thing or two from him. A lot of people seem to really dislike him, though.

Paul Harrell is mostly all I watch. I like his style.

Also buffman R.A.N.G.E. can be interesting and he does a good job of making everything he tests very clear.

Hickcock45. Paul Harrell. Or, just search and see what comes up.
I wouldn't consider anybody on a ranch or when talking about how many toaster ovens will it take to stop a 50 cal. Or anything like that. There is a lot of good information out there and tons of ridiculous.

With the right amount of bourbon - more than your wife would approve, but probably less than the YouTube host has on board - those channels can be entertaining.

Forgotten Weapons (as it sounds)
Taufledermaus (Anything they can chamber through a shotgun safely)
Carpe Sus (Hog hunting & More, but here, I am biased)

Backfire, Ron Spomer, Hornady Podcast, Ultimate Reloader, and Johnny's reloading bench are a few not mentioned yet that I like.
If you can stand his condescending style and monotone, "The Real Gunsmith" has some good educational information.
Brownells "Smyth Busters" is also entertaining and factual.

I'll toast to that

Old guns and Wyoming history.

For smaller more informative channels. I do watch Buffalo Outdoors, Tools and Targets, and occasionally Mason Leather lately. Entertainment wise, it's always Demo Ranch, Kentucky Ballastics, Brandon Herrera. I do enjoy TFB TV and Paul Harrell as well

Fieldsports Britain has some good stuff once in a while.

Dave Carrie Shooting I like.

USOG is a gentleman.

TFB TV is good when Clint Smith is on

Cannot stand most others, some are merely tolerable.

Oh yeah, Buffalo Outdoors is decent. Mellow delivery and a good shooter.

I like Johnny’s Reloading Bench, but it is aimed at handloaders and people who want to learn about it.

C&Rsenal for detailed deep dives on firearm history.

Armed Scholar, Colion Noir, and HRFunk are my favorites.

Prepmedic

C&Rsenal

Forgotten Weapons

Tinker Talks Guns

Gun Dungeon

Capandball. I know the guy who does it, he's the real deal in both shooting ability and historical knowledge (he's a professor at the Hungarian War College).

Hickock 45 for gun tests, tactical rifleman (retired SF NCO) for just about everything, warrior poet society (retired Ranger) also for everything.

Pat Mcnamara

Shooting related I’ve occasionally watched Military Arms Channel. I’ve met the guy that does it. Good guy

C&Rsenal
Honest Outlaw
22 Plinkster
Demo Ranch (for the entertainment factor)
Paul Harrell (but he can be kind of boring sometimes)
Classic Firearms
Iraqveteran8888

There are a bunch more I run across now and then, but I only have so much time.

I wish Nutnfancy would learn to edit the 10 minutes of content he somehow manages to put into an hour long video into a 10 minute video. But, I am just not going to spend that much time watching a video.

I can't do Demo Ranch anymore. Their poor muzzle discipline and overall callous safety procedures are too painful to watch.

I watch a bunch of different channels.
Two of my favorites are

The Gun Dungeon & Tinker Talks Guns

Both channels are done by THR members.

There a guy that tests .22 rifles w a channel called "Day at the Range".
I check his channel off and on.
