I am in the middle of making my business plan for a outside gun range down around the McAlester area. I looking for the right land for 1k or longer range, with carbine pistol area's. I am looking to run tactical rifle, IDPA style pistol, rim fire and 3 gun competitions. Will have covered shooting area's, bathrooms or at lease porta johns... In yall's opinion what would there have to be for you to put down money for a membership? Memberships are $125 initiation fee, $25 dollars a month for a individual, $35 for a family. There will be security camera, a covered area away from firing lines for those who are not shooting. There will be steel targets for all area's but there will be a 50-100 yrd lines for paper targets. I also have the NRA range source book and have read most of it. Also wanting to talk to someone with has dealt with the finances of opening or running a range business. I have reached out to other range business's but only heard from one. I know i just asked a few questions, an i know there are thousands more im probably not thought of. My wife was into the business financing and has helped a lot, but just needing some info from shooters.
