Basics you will need for the range:

Targets - 3D and practice targets. Our club uses Morrell Outdoor Range bag targets on our practice range. It wouldn't hurt to make a branding iron with your club's name on it and brand the belly of each 3D target, so it can be identified in case of theft. They do 'walk off' sometimes.

Storage shed for extra targets, groundskeeping equipment and miscellanious like scorecards and concession supplies.

Sanitary facilities - Portapotties or, if legal, outhouses.

Concession supplies - Water jugs, ice chests, other stuff. Supply water for sure. Cold drinks and food for any tournaments you put on.

Benches and picnic tables. They gotta have some place to rest while drinking their cold drinks and eating their food. A pavilion to get under in a cloudburst is a nice touch, or you can do like our club and just let 'em drown.[8D]

Lock on the gate to discourage unauthorized entry. Posted signs about every hundred feet all along the fence. Sign out front identifying the property as an archery range.

Liability insurance - just in case. Very important for a non-profit club. Vitally important if you intend to make this a commercial range where you charge people to shoot your course. Plan on it costing at least $600 a year for a non-profit club. Probably more for a commercial range. None of the injuries I've ever seen on a range have actually been due to getting hit with an arrow. All have been due to falls and bows breaking. You can't be held liable for someone's bow blowing up, but if they slip, trip and fall, then you could be - and there are jerks out there who would sue you for them being an uncoordinated klutz.

If you've got running water and electricity on the property, that's a bonus. Few clubs I've been to have such niceties.

If you're going to set up a true non-profit archery club, you'll have to draw up a constitution and by-laws. A club can't function without rules to govern it. Not to mention the basic archery range safety rules which you will post so people will see them when walking from the parking area into the shooting area.

You'll need to set up a bank account for the club.

Might not hurt to consult a lawyer to make sure you get all the bases and angles covered. Definitely do that if you go for a commercial range.

Then, after all that, you'll need startup money and spare time to devote to the club. If you can get 40 people to chip in for a $200 charter membership, that'll be enough to get going. Naturally, if you want to set up a commercial deal and charge people to shoot your course, you'll have to front the whole startup cost yourself.
