Fair prices.
Good quality Camo. Reasonable priced. A good selection of Camo, ie... Coveralls. light duty & Med. duty.
Service is everything ,the customer is usually right Except when they dont know what they want .Provide Lessons ,rentals, Kids gear ,trade up, or down ,
Out side range, Instinctive shooters, Free style, Fun.Fun, & more Fun...
I only had 1/2 cup of coffee so far this A.M. these are just a few suggestions to get the thought process going.

:D thanks for input max2 just thinking about getting into my own buisness figured i live in tourism based community maybe that a outdoor store or bow shop would be the way to go. it would probably be a partnership with my bro... I've been in the flooring trade since i was 15 due to a back injury its time for change... been pondering the change for about 2 yrs now .. so the more input i get the better. thanks again... sir huntsalot lol

Knowledgable staff not just opinionated staff pimping a certain line of bows or accessories.

A good cross section of different types of broadheads. One pet peeve I have is going into an archery shop around here and only finding 2 or 3 different brands of broadheads. Usually the ones the shop staff like and maybe one other. I hate paying through the nose by mail order but I sometimes go that way to find broadheads. Just MHO.

I hafta to agree with the wide range of suppliers ... the pro shop that i used to frequent was in bed with just one or two .... then they got all pissy with me when I went elsewhere to get products that they didnt stock .... needless to say I dont go into that shop anymore ...knowlegable and experianced staff is key ......... Great customer service is the big key ..... I personally have no problem going to a shop where people know their stuff and treat me good and spending more money than I would at a ..... "superstore" where the archery guy this week was the hiking boot guy last week

know what i mean?

Make you shop desirable to be at ..... Keep a happy atmosphere ... make it a destination ... not a place to swing by on yer way thru

My opinions any

most of all ... Have fun
