Here is one tip, visit other bow shops and pick their brains. If there are none close, then you won't be in competition with them so they should be willing to support a fellow small business owner. Visit their shop, make notes of what you like and don't like.

Find a trusted part-time employee who can work while you are off hunting. However, if you are a hunter, you will have to give up some of your hunting time to run the shop. Chances are you won't be able to compete with the big box stores on prices for large items like bows and treestands, so you must beat them with service, knowledge and accessory availability.

Another tip: start a web site and let trusted customers place arrow orders via email.

Good Luck.


Hunting is a right, treat it like a priviledge - respect nature
