Mossy: I worked as a distributor rep. for the largest distributor of hunting and fishing equipment that there is. Customer service is what it is all about. You will need to find a location first. Your creditor will want a business plan-and location is part of that plan.

One word of advice. Get as close to Walmart as you can. Next door is not too close. Believe me-guys hate Walmart. What better place to go. Let Walmart bring them in, and you sell them. Second: Do not carry anything that they carry. You can not compete with them, so go around them. Third: Find lines that they do not carry-for example you should carry Hornady ammo. Talk to Steve at the SHOT show, tell him what you are doing-and ask him what he can do to help(Steve Hornady). The SHOT show is in Orlando this year. This show is a must. You will learn more there in twodays than youcan imagine.

Do not worry about an FFL. They are easy to get, as long as you do not have any background problems. Tom.
