RE: Central Illinois bowshop ideas
I like an indoor range, does not have to be spectacular, but can at least shoot 30 yards. The DART system brings in a lot of people, even though I particularly am not the fondest of it. I love outdoor ranges. Try to have them open through the week too though, instead of just weekend shoots. Friendly and you got to be able to sell like a champ...my home bow shop the guy sells you everything, even though I don't need it at all.
I'll tell you what I love about my home bow shop is that when he is busy, he makes you pay the full price to shoot, but if it is a slow day and it is just me and a friend shooting he barely charges anything, sometimes if at all. It makes you feel good about him and respect him and that is why I continue to do business there. He is not ALL about the money, but the service.
