How to make a prize tier. How to open a shooting club

This material will consider how to organize such an interesting type of business as the creation of a shooting range. A business plan will also be provided.

To receive a monthly profit of four thousand dollars, you will need to invest an amount within three thousand dollars in opening such an institution. Long-term studies say that the most gambling visitors to shooting galleries are children and women.

At the moment, shooting ranges are divided into two groups: professional, working at sports clubs, and community centers. They, as a rule, are training centers for policemen, security guards… Another group is shooting galleries for people's entertainment.

This group is underdeveloped, although there is undoubtedly demand. Very often, entertainment shooting galleries are organized at recreation centers, sports clubs, and entertainment centers.

Instructions for opening a shooting range

If you are planning to open a shooting gallery using pneumatic weapons, then a large number of different permits and licenses will not be required (unlike a professional shooting gallery). Equipment does not have to meet strict requirements. You will need to invest an initial amount of two to three thousand dollars, and this will be enough for its full-fledged work. If we talk about a professional institution, then the amount of the contribution will be about ten thousand dollars.

Package of documents

First of all, you will need to go through the procedure of registering a company or an individual. Following the federal law of August 8, 2001 "On Licensing Certain Types of Activities", a mandatory license is not required to open a shooting gallery. Pneumatics are also not subject to licensing.

Room selection

Its size should not be less than fifty square meters. In professional shooting ranges, the distance between the border and the targets will be from fifty to one hundred meters. Since an amateur shooting range can be located in leisure centers, recreation parks, in crowded places, the distance between the border and the targets can be in the range of five to ten meters. This is quite enough for the efficient operation of the institution.

A room for a shooting gallery can be located on any floors of buildings, as well as in basements. The main requirement for the arrangement of shooting galleries is the mandatory installation of a bullet catcher - you can either buy it or make it in a handicraft way. To prevent ricochet, the walls should be equipped with a tarpaulin and softening pad. "Cool" repair in the shooting room is not required.

Equipment selection

Naturally, for the shooting gallery you will need targets and weapons. It is these positions that will require you to invest money. In order for your establishment to function effectively, you need to purchase from five to ten small arms, because sometimes a client unknowingly can cause damage.

You can pick up pneumatic guns from the Izhevsk Arms Plant, or, for example, from the Anix Moscow Plant. The average price of one weapon will be about two hundred dollars. If we are talking about pistols, then they can be purchased at the same enterprises for fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars. More famous Western brands, such as Beretta, Walther, Colt, will cost more - about two hundred or three hundred dollars. Thus, you will have to spend at least a thousand dollars to purchase weapons.

Targets are either moving or static. The cheapest option is paper targets, the cost of which is three rubles per piece. Computer technology does not stand still, and the cost of equipping a shooting range with static targets can be up to eight hundred rubles.

If you want to equip a shooting range with moving targets, then be prepared to pay from four to six thousand rubles. However, they will serve you for a much longer time.

Shooting range staff

Here everything will depend on the number of small arms, on the size of the site. It will take up to six people of staff, your employees should be able to work with clients, competently and intelligibly explain to them the rules for handling weapons, and, of course, be sociable. But the main requirement is an excellent knowledge of weapons.

Customer Capabilities

Many employees of shooting galleries agree that the most reckless visitors are women and children. They often take ten or more bullets, and in some cases, visitors to the shooting gallery leave up to five hundred rubles in a shooting establishment.

Here are some numbers:

You can easily rent a room for an amount of three hundred to six hundred dollars, you will spend about a thousand dollars on weapons, targets will cost you from thirty to two hundred dollars. The prize fund will be from fifty dollars, the salary of the staff (depending on the number of people) will be approximately up to nine hundred dollars.

Based on this, your profit will be from one and a half to two and a half thousand dollars.

"To open a shooting range with firearms, you need (if you have calculated everything and decided - yes, it's worth it):

b) money (a lot).

Interesting. BUT a lot of

discuss

Hello, friends! Today we will be comparing two shooting ranges and talk about which one is the best for training if you have a choice.

An open shooting range and an indoor shooting range have their pros and cons. It is important to remember them when going to training. For example, I strongly recommend that you do not shoot a gun in an indoor shooting range - it is extremely unhealthy! Why? Read on!

And so, let's start with the comparative characteristics of the shooting range and the shooting gallery:

1. Ventilation. This is perhaps the main point that I want to talk about. After all, it is good ventilation that reduces the chances of getting lead poisoning. The best ventilation is, of course, on an open shooting range. Personally, I know of only one shooting range where ventilation is perhaps as good as outdoors in the Archangel Michael club in Yekaterinburg. But this does not mean at all that you cannot shoot in all other shooting ranges. If the ventilation system is monitored well enough and the filters are changed on time (which unfortunately does not happen often), then it will quite cope with at least a little training. When choosing a shooting range for training, try to listen to your own body and feel the air at the beginning of the workout, in the middle and at the end. The first sign of lead poisoning is a sweetish taste in the mouth, and the stronger it is, the more poisoning you have received. In order to reduce the chance of lead contamination, you can use special respirators.

2. Hearing strain. Again, at this point, the open shooting range wins, but only on the condition that you shoot in an open area that does not have walls and a roof. Many ranges have both, and the sound can be even louder than an indoor range. Therefore, I recommend choosing the most dense headphones or earplugs. Active headphones often do not provide sufficient hearing protection.

3. Weather conditions. Not every person is ready to train outside at -30 degrees, in rain, snowfall or fog, it’s also hard to train in the heat, plus some shooting ranges are so muddy that it becomes extremely difficult to move around. In this regard, in this paragraph, the shooting gallery is in the lead. You can not worry about the weather forecast and feel free to plan your workout at any time convenient for you. In addition, not all open shooting ranges are equipped with light, and in winter the daylight hours are short and it becomes more problematic to go to shoot at the shooting range, for example, after work.

But personally, weather conditions do not stop me, because I use self-elevating targets. Lifters, as they are called by shooters, which reduce training time due to the fact that there is no need to constantly raise targets.

4. You can also add convenience to the advantages of a closed shooting range. In addition to warm toilets and tap water, some shooting galleries have a changing room and, if you're really lucky, even a shower. However, in one of the shooting ranges of Yekaterinburg there is even a bathhouse.

Idea No. 204: How profitable is it to have a shooting gallery and what is needed to open it?

Inventory storage. Another point in favor of the shooting range. The shooting range has not only a weapons room, you can also arrange to store your shooting things there. In some shooting galleries there are even special lockers with locks. At the shooting range, you can also provide such an opportunity. As a rule, they allocate a common barn, to which other athletes have access. But not every shooting range has a gun room. I think you know very well that a civilian cannot buy a gun, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation. And if you decide to shoot this particular type of weapon, then certain problems may arise with the removal of a pistol to the shooting range.

6. Shooting distance. It is unlikely that you will find a shooting range for shooting at 300 meters, although not every shooting range can boast of such a distance. But in any case, finding a shooting range with a long distance is much easier than a shooting range.

7. Distance. In large cities, shooting ranges can be found in almost every area, and you can always choose the most convenient location. And to the shooting range, often, you have to go far enough. In addition, it may not be in your city at all. Although in some small towns there may not be a shooting gallery, unfortunately.

8. Availability. On ranges with long distances, as a rule, there is one large direction that a large number of shooters rent at once. This has both pluses and minuses. Of the pluses, you do not need to book a place in advance, you can arrive at any time convenient for you and not worry about being late. Of the minuses, this is a general release. The more people, the more people go to the field. For practical shooters, as a rule, frequent field trips are not needed. Personally, we only go there to set up our targets and then pick them up. In the process of training, we don’t need this, because we shoot at metal gongs with a light indication of the flash hit and at self-elevating targets with lifters. But, let's say, hunters who shoot weapons or just shoot at paper need to walk in the field very often and they don’t have the task of shooting a lot of cartridges. Accordingly, for practical shooters, training becomes expensive, because due to the general rebound, its time increases significantly, and besides, due to long waits, it is less effective. But there is no alternative in the form of closed tigers for a long distance, so if you have the opportunity to shoot at a distance of at least 100 meters by renting your own direction, you are very lucky!

So, let's sum it up:

• Weak sides:
  Ventilation
  Hearing load
  The size
  It is not advisable to shoot a gun
  In most cases, it is pointless to shoot from a rifled carbine (except for a pistol caliber)
• Strengths:
  In any weather
  Lighting
  Facilities (warm toilet, washbasin, changing room, etc.)
  Inventory storage
  Weapon rental
  Own shooting gallery

Shooting range:

• Weak sides:
  seasonality
  Weather
  Shooting only with own weapons
  Often there is no lighting
  General rebound at long distances
• Strong side:
  The size
  Distance
  Ventilation
  Less hearing strain (only if there are no walls and roof)
  Availability (many people shoot at the same time)

At the end of this post, I want to once again draw your attention to the fact that I strongly do not recommend shooting a shotgun in a shooting range. Believe me, it's better to get a little cold on the street or even skip a couple of workouts than to spit out your lungs later. But if you still decide to go shoot a gun in a shooting range, put on a special respirator, it will help save your lungs. Watch your health!

Interesting. BUT a lot of , in this case, according to the author - how much exactly?

Insofar as - I myself went through most of the permissive license-permissive corridors, then - I will share today some of the information known to me.

So. In the spring of 2008, for discuss the question of the possibility of opening a fifty-meter gallery for smooth and traumatic patients was charged in the Moscow region from a person from the street, from a stranger - $ 1,000,000. But, it was a price tag for stranger stranger, simply for the fact that his request was considered in the next instance.

Air!

According to Tirmaster specialists, one client makes an average of 25 shots. With the recommended cost of a shot of 5 rubles (of course, the price depends on the location of the shooting range and the income of the population), about 200 rubles are deposited from one shooter at the box office. The average daily attendance of shooting galleries is very individual and directly depends on the quality of the service offered and the good location. In a densely populated city, an average of at least 100 visitors come to the shooting gallery every day - that is, the daily revenue will be at least 2,000 rubles. If the shooting gallery is well located, then the number of visitors, as a rule, triples: that is, the average monthly revenue of the shooting gallery on wheels will be about 150 thousand rubles. For a start, very good - especially when you consider that the entire structure, together with the car, costs 160 thousand. The cost of prizes, the purchase of airguns (for example, used ones) and the salary of a driver (who may also be an instructor) will bring the level of expenses to the round number "200"; however, as Tirmaster's calculations show, in a month and a half your acquisition will pay off and begin to bring you a constant profit.

Shooting gallery earns on prizes for accuracy

Women and children are considered the most gambling shooters. Having invested only $2-3 thousand in the opening of a shooting gallery, you can receive an income of $4 thousand per month. Shooting ranges are divided into two categories: professional and recreational. The former work at sports clubs and centers, at public organizations.

Such shooting galleries serve as a training ground for police officers and security companies, as well as for training individual clients. Entertainment shooting galleries as independent enterprises are not developed in St. Petersburg, although, according to market participants, they are in demand. They mainly work in sports clubs, entertainment venues and recreation centers as an additional service. There is a small shooting gallery in the Fireball night club, shooting range services are provided at the suburban recreation centers "Aquamarine", "Pchelka", "Youth", "Mayak", "Old Mill" and others. Opening an entertainment shooting range using pneumatic weapons does not require as many licenses and permits as are necessary for the operation of a professional shooting range. The requirements for the premises are not so strict. It is necessary to invest about $2-3 thousand to open such a shooting gallery, while a professional shooting gallery will cost 5 times more.

1 step
Registration and licenses

To open a shooting gallery, you can register as a private entrepreneur or register a company.

Federal Law No. 128-FZ of August 8, 2001 "On Licensing Certain Types of Activities" does not provide for the licensing of activities for the opening and maintenance of shooting galleries and pneumatic shooting galleries in particular. You also don't need a license for airguns.

2 step
room

An entertainment shooting range can be in demand at shopping or entertainment complexes, in parks and recreation complexes, in places where entertainment facilities are concentrated.

For a shooting range, a room of 40-50 m2 is suitable. Professional shooting ranges have a platform length from the line to the target of 50 or 100 m. However, for an entertainment shooting range, a distance of 5-10 m is enough.

The shooting gallery can be located in the basement or occupy any floor of the building. There is only one requirement: the walls must be protected by a bullet trap, which can be purchased or built independently. The wall must be equipped with a softening pad and tarpaulin to avoid rebound. The shooting gallery is good in that it is not necessary to make chic repairs and invest a lot of money in the interior. At first, the "basement" situation is also suitable: it is enough to supplement the brick walls with a protective color grid or other improvised materials. Therefore, investments in the arrangement can be minimized.

3 step
Equipment

The only equipment of the shooting gallery are weapons and targets. However, this is the most expensive part of the budget of a start-up company.

A shooting range requires 5-10 weapons. “Our shooting range uses one five-shot and three single-shot rifles, two pistols and one submachine gun,” says Alexander Lakshin, art director of the Fireball club. “This is quite enough for the operation of the shooting range.” In the shooting range of the "Old Mill" - six rifles and pistols.

It is not uncommon for visitors to break or damage guns. Therefore, it should be borne in mind that the repair and replacement of equipment will be one of the expenditure parts of the budget.

Pneumatic weapons are produced by the Izhevsk Arms Plant, the Moscow Arms Plant "Anix" and others. An air rifle costs $200 on average, pistols can be purchased for $50-$150. Imported analogues of the brands Walther, Beretta, Colt and others are usually $50-100 more expensive. Investments in the acquisition of weapons can be about $ 1 thousand.

Targets can be of two types: static and moving. The cheapest - paper targets with standard rings - cost 3 rubles apiece.

“We order paper targets at a printing house. From 10 to 50 pieces are spent at the shooting range every day,” says Ivan Makurov, coach of the shooting and sports club of the Central Interdistrict Ostoma. By the way, paper targets can be entered into the computer and printed out as needed on their own.

In the shooting range at the Staraya Mill recreation center, in addition to paper targets, candles, aluminum cans from drinks, soldiers and toys are used. By equipping the shooting range with static targets, you can reduce the cost to 800 rubles per month.

To equip a shooting range with moving targets, you will have to spend 4-6 thousand rubles, but they will also last much longer.

There are other options for equipping the shooting gallery. Thus, the St. Petersburg center of projection technologies "Viking" offers equipment for a laser multimedia shooting gallery, the St. Petersburg company CJSC "KD" produces multimedia shooting range complexes.

4 step
Staff

From one to six people are needed to organize the operation of the shooting gallery, depending on the size of the site and the number of weapons.

In the Fireball club, the shooting range is served by one person. “The main requirement for an instructor in a shooting range is communication skills, the ability to communicate with a client and correctly explain safety rules,” says Alexander Lakshin, “and anyone can be taught how to handle pneumatic weapons. A girl could also work in a shooting range.” Three coaches work in the professional shooting range of the Central Inter-District Octo Sports Club - former employees of military structures.

5 step
Clients and their opportunities

According to employees of shooting galleries, women and children are the most reckless shooters.

One shot in the shooting range costs from 3 to 30 rubles, the most common price is 5-6 rubles. On average, customers make 10-20 shots, but there are shooters who are ready to leave 500 rubles or more in the shooting range.

The opportunity to win a prize, usually symbolic (a toy, a flag, a badge and other inexpensive souvenirs), especially fuels the excitement.

Figures how much it costs to open a shooting range:

— Rent of premises — $300-600/month.
- Weapons - $ 1 thousand.
– Targets – $30-200
– Staff salary (one to three people) – $200-$900
— Prizes — from $50
Total - from $1580 to $2750

Ready-made business plan

In pre-perestroika times and especially in the post-war years, domestic shooting galleries and shooting clubs flourished. The domestic and foreign policy of the state provided them with a full load, all kinds of assistance and encouragement for the education of the "Voroshilov shooters." Having lost such support, already in the late 1980s they all eked out a miserable existence.

The equipment is hopelessly outdated, the interest in shooting among the population, despite the intensive criminalization of society (or maybe just because of it), has noticeably cooled. This situation continued until fellow citizens were allowed to use gas and pneumatic weapons for self-defense. Self-defense is, of course, good and right; but how to defend yourself if you are familiar with your "blued friend" only in general terms, and if you shot from him, then only in a wasteland at bottles? Obviously, it takes practice.

At the same time, as soon as society began to gradually grow fat, the number of active hunters again sharply increased - those who can afford both good weapons and “bear” trips. And, finally, the public walking in the parks again discovered all the charm of hitting the "bull's eye", depicted on some wooden bunny, in front of astonished friends.

Here it is, the golden moment for your "sure shot" - the start of a shooting range business! On the one hand, there is clearly a demand for the service (and it will grow). On the other hand, this market is practically empty. So, according to Ivan Pozdeev, Deputy General Director of Iceberg, a leading Russian manufacturer of equipment and weapons for interactive shooting ranges, no more than a dozen shooting establishments actually operate in the huge Moscow metropolis. Moreover, some of them are of a closed nature, that is, only representatives of law enforcement services, employees of private security companies and simply “their own people” can get there. Most of the rest are equipped "the old fashioned way". And those that can really offer something interesting actually serve no more than 10 thousand people.

Possible options

Those who want to enter this business can see a great variety of types of weapons: from the simplest and cheapest mobile “shooting galleries on wheels”, equipped with a couple of pneumatic guns and a set of targets, to solid, state-of-the-art shooting range complexes where you can shoot live ammunition of three dozen types of weapons. Poor is the soldier who does not dream of becoming a general! A successful start from the bottom of the hierarchy of this business will allow you to gradually increase both the turnover and the fleet of weapons - and maybe eventually become the owner of a small underground shooting range, a one-time visit to which costs customers at least $ 300. Consider the options.

Air!

Pneumatic weapons are a reasonable compromise, allowing the client, for a divine price, to babysit in the hands of an analogue of a military weapon that looks almost the same as its prototype. For example, the SVD (Dragunov sniper rifle) in its analog version is called "Tiger" and is almost indistinguishable from the "real" one. The visual and sound effects from firing a live bullet, of course, are incomparable to those that a pneumatic “bun” gives a click. But the hassle with the design - no. And the shot costs the client 10 times cheaper.

To work with "pneumatics", you can either install a stationary shooting range on a permanent basis, or organize a tent - a lightweight collapsible structure for seasonal work in crowded places. Manufacturers, as a rule, recommend the most "volatile" option - a mobile shooting range-transformer based on a car trailer. Its important advantage is the ability to "spud" the most profitable places and change the location as soon as they cease to bring good profits. Properly selected equipment on the basis of such a shooting range is deployed to full “combat readiness” in just 30–40 minutes.

According to Tirmaster specialists, one client makes an average of 25 shots. With the recommended cost of a shot of 5 rubles (of course, the price depends on the location of the shooting range and the income of the population), about 200 rubles are deposited from one shooter at the box office. The average daily attendance of shooting galleries is very individual and directly depends on the quality of the service offered and the good location. In a densely populated city, an average of at least 100 visitors come to the shooting gallery every day - that is, the daily revenue will be at least 2,000 rubles. If the shooting gallery is well located, then the number of visitors, as a rule, triples: that is, the average monthly revenue of the shooting gallery on wheels will be about 150 thousand rubles. For a start, very good - especially when you consider that the entire structure, together with the car, costs 160 thousand.

How to open a shooting club with firearms

The cost of prizes, the purchase of airguns (for example, used ones) and the salary of a driver (who may also be an instructor) will bring the level of expenses to the round number "200"; however, as Tirmaster's calculations show, in a month and a half your acquisition will pay off and begin to bring you a constant profit.

In principle, you can save up to 40 thousand rubles on average if instead of “wheels” you simply purchase a “mini-shooting gallery” with a thematic proscenium, the design of which involves quick assembly and installation in any suitable area. However, this option is only advisable if you already have transport.

How to catch a hunter

The instinct of the hunter and the excitement of the player is inherent in every person; you just need to awaken these feelings - and then the client will return again and again. “In order to interest all categories of shooters, one should select colorful and diverse targets,” says Alexander Efimenko, head of the Attractions from Volzhsky joint venture. - For example, we have as targets - completely disgusting scoundrels: pirates, bandits, monsters. It is worth shooting one - another immediately appears behind him. And in general, all targets live their lives in the scenery built for them: the sea, a ship, an air collapsible structure for seasonal work in crowded places. You try yourself as the main character in this theater, - Alexander says with enthusiasm. - And an integral part of this performance is humor. More than once I had to observe with what enthusiasm they shoot at our targets, shooting villains, trying to open all the windows and doors, visitors of various ages: both respectable ladies, and hot young men, and schoolchildren.

To attract customers, the right choice of weapons is also very important. The aces of the shooting business really praise the classic IZH-38 rifle. Its main advantage - simplicity in operation; and the main difference from semi-automatic pneumatics is that the preparation for the next shot introduces additional dynamics into the course of firing. Imagine the process itself: ten shots - ten reloads, and this is both additional time for participation in the shooting, and additional pleasure (“broke”, inserted a bullet, snapped, fired), which cannot be said about shooting from a semiautomatic device: a few seconds - and the end (spent money quickly migrates to the cashier of the shooting range, but the emotions are not fully spent). And, of course, you can not skimp on prizes - extra shots, soft toys, etc. Good shooting should be encouraged, and a sharpshooter who recklessly collects trophies attracts a large number of people not only as spectators.

Within the Law One of the most compelling arguments in favor of opening a shooting range with airguns up to 7.5 joules is that no licenses are required under the Guns Act. It is enough to register as an entrepreneur, arrange a lease of premises for a hospital or a piece of land for movement, purchase the appropriate equipment - and you can begin to bring joy to the public while making a profit! You should not just forget about safety. You must eliminate the possibility of people appearing in the line of fire, eliminate the flight of bullets outside the range and ricochets that can lead to injuries. The recommended distance from the line to the targets, depending on the type of targets and shooting range, is 6–12 meters. And they should be completely controlled by you.

In search of a good way to make money, aspiring entrepreneurs often ignore great ideas, considering them troublesome and difficult. Without delving into the matter, you can miss a good opportunity with minimal investment and a quick payback.

Is it worth considering opening a shooting range as an excellent business plan that gives you a quick start? First you need to thoroughly understand this issue so as not to “burn out” by opening such an institution.

There are two types of small arms that are in demand at the shooting range today. The third option is the use of a crossbow-bow type of weapon.

• Professional - firearms. It is used in shooting ranges for athletes at training bases, law enforcement officers, and individual clients. Its use requires a license and a large number of other permits. It has a high cost, in view of this, it is available only to medium-sized businesses and above.
• Entertaining - pneumatic. It is widely demanded in amusement parks and other entertainment centers. Does not require any permits. Available in price.
• Crossbow and bow. It is used in shooting ranges of any price segment, it all depends on the level of its cost.

Location and premises

After choosing the type of weapon, it is worth sorting out the search for a place for a shooting gallery, it, in many respects, will determine the success of the planned business.

In the first case, when the business is based on individual communication with the client, they imply an expensive type of service. In shooting galleries equipped with firearms, they serve customers with high solvency, so the service must match.

Basically, it can be a country club or a sports base. The length of the overcome boundary is up to 100 meters. It is also possible to provide individual training services in the training centers of the security services.

In this case, they build a capital building with strong and reliable walls, using high-level security measures. They are sheathed with a soundproof layer of high quality, with the ability to prevent ricochet.

Shooting range equipment

The purchase of weapons is the most important investment in this business. Successful development of the business is possible only with the right choice of equipment that meets the requirements of customers.

All the types of weapons discussed above are divided into two price segments.

• Cheap. These include pneumatic guns and pistols, inexpensive bows.
• Expensive. Firearms and pistols, professional crossbows and bows.

It is worth taking care of the presence of a large amount of consumables such as bullets, arrows and shot . The customer should never wait and be unsatisfied.

Whatever the weapon, it must always be serviceable, debugged and be in excellent technical condition. Any hitch, with a good flow of people, will cost money.

Not a single type of shooting gallery can do without targets. They are of two types:

• static. These include paper targets and models of people and animals. In shooting galleries of an entertaining type, it is possible to use plastic fixed toys (soldiers, for example)
• moving. Requires more capital investment, but lasts longer and attracts more visitors

Recruitment

Mobile shooting ranges do not require the hiring of highly qualified professionals. It is enough to get by with 1-3 conscientious efficient workers.

It might be a good idea to sell or give away certificates for a few free shots. The main thing is that after the first visit a potential client is satisfied and wants to come back again!

The client and his needs

Clients of the shooting gallery are divided into two types. The former come to have fun, the latter to get or improve their skills in handling weapons.

Barriers should be provided on the line of fire so that a person could not accidentally enter there.
