I'm going to have a certificate made up for people that Robinhood arrows at my shop.
I'm thinking they will want to keep the arrows for themselves?
Now the one I do, yes, I will be putting them on the wall.

The shop is coming along nicely!

I may have to make a trip halfway across the country to come visit sometime.

keep all this good news about your shop going!!! got to hear all about the good stuff happening.... another thing to look at in the future would be a simulation room... 20 yards... i think that would bring in a lot of customers.... just something to think about

WH
you won't be too far away when you come out for the gathering.

MN
Simulation room?
You mean a Technohunt video shooting room?
If so, I do not have the room or the $$ to get one of those right now. Mostly, I do not have the room.
Mypersonal opinion is that while the video shooting is fun (for the first couple times anyway) it is not good hunting practice. All your shots are at 20 yards,even if the animal appears to be 40 yards away. I think this encourages hunters to pick the wrong pin in the "heat of the moment" when real game is a stake.I feel that 3D targets, at various ranges is more effective practice.
That said, once I make some money and can build my own building, designed to be an archery range and retail shop. I would put one in because it is a good drawing card.

Well it's off to work i go!

Looking good. I'll assume those range fees are typical for your area? Seem high to me.

My local shop practice is an unlimited amount of time for 4$

League rounds are 7$

Paper targets only.

Just a thought......but I pay $150 a yr for me and my son to shoot on our range. It's $150 for an individual adult, too (he oofers the break to keep the kids interested).

Have you thought of an annual plan?

Everything is looking GREAT!
