Hey guy's and gal's, I'm looking for a little help or input.
About a year ago I moved to Lincoln NE, I had aspirations to open a bow shop, once I got here and found I had nothing in the local area for public shooting or proshops. I sent out a post and got some great responses with some great input and ideas. Since then I have been trying to think of everyway possible to get this thing started.
What I have found is that making the full leap, plunge, dive or whatever you want to call it, is going to be one of the hardest steps. I have a full time job that seems to get the bills paid, and a family that depends on it.
What I would like to do is maybe start something out of my basement with a small shop, a small inventory and little overhead. Then it would allow me to make some tough decisions based upon the outcome of a year or so and then make the plunge into a full time archery shop.
The problem that I'm runnig into is that everywhere I look, I can only find wholesalers that will sell to a shop with a store front and a full shop. I can't make any money to get things started if I'm buying my supplies from the same place that my customers can.
Just wondering if I could make any contacts out there, or if anyone has any ideas.
Any input would be great help. You can also email me direct
