A friend of mine and i have been tossing the idea around about starting an indoor gun range. We live in a large 2nd amendment supported area. There are a couple long distance gun ranges in the area, but im not interested in tapping into that for self profit, but we are willing to support the firearms support for them. we are both going to become CPL instructors. we are thinking 10 firing lanes. we want to be able to support every type of shooter when it comes to sales. from women, children, hunters and competitive. we want to bring a more extensive AR-15 and AR-10 market to the area, that kind of an untapped market, there is one store about 30 minutes away that has a small amount of AR inventory. One of the main reasons we thought of this is because nobody can try firearms before owning in our area, unless they want to drive over an hour away. within a 45 minute radius there are over a dozen decent sized town and a lot of industry so income isnt a problem for most customers. The other thing is the only place to get rifles are mc sports and dunhams.... dunhams only carries synthetic stocks and mc sports carries the run of the mill remmingtons mossbergs and savages, with just a couple browning. we are hoping to tap into more, like weatherbys sako and tikka, along with newer american companies for lower budgets, like diamondback, FMK and Sccy. what are some good paths to follow here while considering this, and is it possible to make it a profitable business?
