Oh.....Archery Hunting is a Big Deal here..just don't know if this Indoor Stuff would catch on....I was thinking that if We did go in on this.....We would have to Offer a Free Weekend....so people could come in and try it....then maybe they would get Hooked......

  It kind of sounds dentrimental to hunting to me. Let's say, everybody starts hunting indoors, on TV's instead of doing the real thing. Seems like hunting license sales would decline and then MNGT area's would close for lack of revenue. In a few years the only place to hunt would be in your establishment.
   Yea, sounds like you could make some money. :( :'(

We invested in a similar system at my Dad's archery shop years ago. We had league nights, and folks could rent by the hour, as well. It was worht it to us because we sold products to the guys coming in, but the machine itself never really produced enough to do much more than pay for the investment. Unless you have a full on, established archery shop, I would caution against that big of an investment.

My two cents....

Thanks Chad...this is kind of what I was worried about...because both of Us have full Time Jobs....and were thinking of doing this on Evenings and Weekends only....which limits the Hours that it is available to the Public...and at 10 bucks per Hour per Bow......it's going to take a bunch of Hours to recoup the $26,000 investment....

A shop in my area had one - It was pretty neat - I didn't for a second think it was a REPLACEMENT for hunting, just a cool way to practice - high-tech stumping, if you will....  I would hit it when I had a spare hour or two when I was in the area, , but if I had a chance to be in the woods that day? NOWAY! This place actually carried some PA stuff, and even had a few osage sticks on consignment form the guy that got me started. Of course, when Wally World hit the scene 2 miles away, the guy folded. >:( I'd make sure the demand for a shop proves itself first before investing in the rig.  It would definitely be a DRAW to customers ;D
 Just my 2 cents. Good luck!
