Signed a contract on a pistol range today...

[Sonnie]

Well... I did it... yep! I signed a contract today to buy a pistol range and gun shop over in Enterprise, AL... about 40 miles south of Troy. The bank approved the loan for me a few days ago, subject to the commercial appraisal, which I think will be fine. Hopefully this will pull us up a little more in the black with the gun business. This particular shop and range has done pretty well, but they have not marketed it like I know it can be marketed, so we should do considerably better than they have done. They've been open almost 10 years and only 5,000 Facebook followers... we've had our shop in Troy for only 2 years and 3 months and have almost 10,000 Facebook followers. I am really looking forward to getting it all worked out. There are already good employees there, so hopefully it will be a smooth transaction and will do well.

Great move, Talon gun range here in Tallahassee has just exploded! I drive by that place every weekend and it's packed. They must have bout 50 or more shooting stations visible from the interstate. No telling what's behind that!

Do you plan on adding classes. Talon is always on the radio advertising shooting classes, concealed weapons permit classes. They seem to be doing a huge business.

They have instructors that come by and do classes from time to time, and we are planning on taking instructor courses so we can be instructors ourselves.

It's the only indoor pistol range withing 2-3 hours.

We have a local high end boutique gun shop called Frontier Justice here in KC. The place is absolutely killing it and really thriving. Here’s a link if you wanna take a look.https://www.frontier-justice.com/

Nice looking place... wish we could get those prices on our guns, we'd make a lot more.

I guess in the big cities there are not as many folks shopping around for the best prices.

 

[JBrax]

It’s like most places on pricing. Mention you found said item cheaper somewhere else and they usually match the price. I’m sure there are people who pay the price as marked though. Just thought I’d offer up an example of what I consider one of the nicer gun shops in my area.

Congrats Sonnie!

Thanks guys... just hoping it will all come together and that this will help us get to where we need to be in the firearms business. It has been a challenge to say the least.
