saphira Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I was wanting a little advice from who ever could help really. Me and my brother was wanting to start up a hunting store in the little town that i live in. We would have food plots, guns, camo, bows, arrows, shells, sell license and if we could like give people brochures to people that come in to buy things about the nra and our hunting heritage. So that we will have people with us to stop them from taking our rights away. I was wanting to know if you all have any idea on how we could go about selling like realtree camo, diffrent food plot seeds, field tips for bows, diffrent kinds of bows, guns, and we would even have an archery range so that we could let people test there bows and get them sighted in before they buy them. Any advice would help and thanks alot for all advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 It's a cruel truth... Attempting to make a business out of your passion for the outdoors will cut short the amount of time you can spend in the outdoors. Seriously I wish you all the success you seek... Think about it though...during hunting season how much time do you think you will have off to go hunt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said - my passion is everything outdoors but unfortunately I don't have that much time to actually participate because I am busy making blades for everyone else to enjoy the outdoors.

stevebeilgard Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 i hope you have lots of money in place. the worst thing you can do is get started with a low inventory and a tight budget. that is certain failure. also, have at least 1 year of living expenses in the bank as you will not make any money for the first year. a good source of advice is your banker, and each state and most cities have counselors to advise you properly for your area. now, i'm normally a totally positive guy, but i see serious times ahead with much higher unemployment and those working not wanting to spend money. check your timing thing with your local economy. ours is pretty good here but lots of areas may be a few years behind.

OJR Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I was in business for myself for many years and right now is NOT the time to even think of going into business for yourself! Especially the type of business you are talking about! Let your money build up and wait to see how this economy shakes out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Between the economy and Obama's speeches, now might not be a good time to go into business for yourself unless you have tons of extra cash and a lot of patience. That being said, now is a great time to hit up the Small Business Association for a loan, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
