I have often thought about what it would be like to own an archery shop, but I dont think I would be ready for the headache that it may cause. But get you some experience by working in one for awhile, if you haveexperience then maybe open onesmall time, just helpiing out buddies and their buddies and you will eventually grow as word gets around. also have some good help,I think it would be next to impossible to work in ashop by yourself, you would eventually get backed up and customers will have to wait along time for their stuff and you may have to turn someaway, which is notgood..
