[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 772602, member: 8362"] NRA is, most likly, the best place to start for insurance. As a full time 'smith, I'm really glad they started offering it for gun smiths, it's been really affordable compared to the others that are available and I mean a BIG difference. Make your range where you can hold some NRA events, I've seen some others hold events that they just, kind of, made up themselves and interest dwindles fast. Look to offer the range that the others don't. Offer memberships and walk-ins. Have range supervision. I know of one place, that had no range officer, that just got "shot-up to junk" because there was no one on the range to stop them, I guess they felt like they could shoot at whatever the wanted because they had paid. It closed. The Oklahoma Rifle Association might be another org with some info to help you get started. Lastly, be sure and charge enough that it is "worth your while". Starting and running a small business is more work and investment than most think it is. :thumbup3: [/QUOTE]
