Double Lung Archery opens Mar 1st 2007!
Finally, my goal of opening my own archery business is going to happen. I started this project back in June of 06 and I am going to open for business Thursday Mar 1st 2007.
It has been a long and very frustrating road.
I looked at a total of 6 buildings and each time, something fell thru. This is actually the first building I looked at and formed my business plan around.
Persistance has paid off! While it is not perfect, it will work.
Here are some pictures of what will soon be Double Lung Archery Inc.
This is the view from the Hwy
This is one inside view,notice, that picture was taken July 10th
another view, this will be the range area, I can get about 37 yards out of it to the back wall.
Don't worry, the owner is replacing the bad tiles and cleaning/buffing the floor before I move in.
I will be repainting the entire inside.
I should have room for 7 shooters on the firing line at a time.
another view, from the outside
I'll have to figure out what to use the garage for.
I have a booth booked for the Sport Show at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls for Mar 9th-11th so if any of you are within driving distance come on down for the Sport Show.
The address for the business is
811 Hwy 218 N
LaPorte City Iowa
Now, the real work begins!
Thank you to all that gave support and advise along the way to my goal.

Good luck to you in your future business goals. I could never own a shop because the busiest time of the year is during the season(at least around here)...too much valuable hunting time to give up.

I think you got yourself something sound in that building. What type of bows are you going to sell? You could use the garage as storage or perhaps a mini range..... How big is it?

Oh hell yeahThat is awesome. can you move it closer to southern Indiana?[8D]Some full size Whitetail mounts in those large front windows would be some sweet eye candy to draw customers in. are you going to be a check station also?
