My local shop says that he needs to generate 10,000 in monthly sales in order to clear overhead.[
] He has way too much stock that he doesn't move very often. I really wonder how he is going to survive through this recession.
You must have a Range and you almost have to have leagues to draw people into the shop so that they buy items. If you are going to sell Guns then you have to go through the hassle of obtaining a FFL. Then you have to worry about getting robbed during and after hours. The local guns shops where I live have all of their employees carry while they are working.
If you are going to deal in both guns and Archery then you need to be an "expert" in both areas and you will most certainly need help to handle the flow of traffic when you get it.
Best advise is do lots of research before you commit to anything.
