Is this feasible anymore to get into the "range" business. I owned a Gym, that was pretty large, 40,000 sq ft. 20 in and 20 out. So I am somewhat aware of what the costs of renting such a space in general can run. But I can only judge as 2000-05 prices were. How big a space would you need, and could it make enough money to stay in business, or do you need a gun store attached in order to stay in business? Just off the top of my head, it would seem to be a costly proposition. How difficult is it, code wise in say Indian River , Florida, I am in South Fl, and aside from a few small gun shop/ranges, I am not aware of any larger size like "shooters" on Sample rd. used to be. I assume the costs are just too high, although more folks seem to be getting into shooting. South Florida is just too expensive even if you own the property, 20 thousand under air is around 20 grand a month. Electric another 4 thousand, You would need 25 thousand a month if you could even get insurance and whatever else you needed. How much will a person pay to shoot? In a new facility with all the bells and whistles. Maybe a 8000-10,000 sq ft, how long and wide are the stations, and what's the turnover rate. It is probably like the gym business, more trouble than it's worth, but is it even possible?If you got 100 people per day, and they paid ten bucks to shoot, thirty grand per month would just about cover all your bills and make you a living, but is that even theoretically possible, say your open 12 hours, that's 8-10 shooters per hour?
