Archery Range & Pro Shop

Archery ranges provide shooting facilities, instruction, and equipment sales serving archers and bow hunters.

With archery steady at 20+ million participants and bowhunting strong, ranges generate revenue of $120,000-$380,000 with 50-65% margins.

The business requires range facility (indoor or outdoor), target systems, safety equipment, retail space, and insurance.

Services include lane rentals, archery instruction, league nights, bow tuning, equipment sales, and birthday parties.

Pricing typically $15-$25 per hour for lane.

Success factors include indoor year-round facility, expert instruction and bow tuning, equipment retail and service, league and tournament hosting, and hunter education courses.

Most combine range with retail.

Marketing focuses on hunters, Olympic archery interest, and families.

With archery accessible and growing in 2025, ranges offer targeted opportunities.
