Default Starting a Pro Shop

Hey guys...Im kinda wanting to start just a small little bow shop in my garage. Its not gonna be anything big, just a few jobs for me and some of my buddies. I currently have no experience with this. What all supplies do I need and what are some tips you guys could give me. Any help would be appreciated!!!

1st thing i would say to do is find a bow shop near you and get to know some people there. Hang out there and learn everything that there is to learn. Maybe you can help out a little bit after awhile and when you know the trade pretty well then worry about starting your own shop. Good luck to you.

Good luck there are lot of small archery shop that come and go. There are only a few that make it. One hint you friends some time can be your shop down fall. They want thing cheaper or free and you can't make the money to keep open are even worst some times steal off you.

Good point. The only time people will DEMAND you are in the shop is when you want to be in the woods!
