Open Question: Any Shooting Range Owners From Florida?

In the part of Florida that I live, there is only one range with four stalls. It is expensive as well as run down. People go there only because they have no other place to go within a 50 mile radius. I decided I want to open a range myself and have already obtained so much data that my head is spinning, yet I still have some questions I am having trouble getting answered. I have the Florida State Statutes, County Codes and Zoning, The NRA Range Sourcebook (in the mail), USAF ETL 08-11: Small Arms Range Design and Construction, the EPA CFRs for lead, and have a couple of properties I am looking at in my area that meet code and would be large enough to suffice the range. The range will be an outdoor range that has 50m (X5), 100 m (X5), 300 m(X3), and 1000 m (X2) lanes that will have use a dirt backstop accompanied by a cement block wall. The range will allow for ammunition from .22 cal to .50 cal. Other than delivery of dirt my brother, cousin, dad, and friend will assist me in the construction of the stalls, measuring the Surface Danger Zone/Vertical Danger Zone, backstops, and targets. My cousin and myself are going to Orlando to become Range Safety Officers for insurance purposes. As business takes off I will be adding a skeet shoot and a tactical/obstacle course with pop-up targets and CQB scenarios, but those are not in the making yet (not until I have an established business). The building where business will be conducted will need to have retail space for accessories, gear, ammo, and guns for sale/rent (I have an application for an FFL but until I have a location of business I cannot send it in). I will also need a 125ft X 125ft room for conducting NRA, CCW, and security courses as well as offer free hunting courses (All but the hunting courses will be taught by either myself or my cousin). A bathroom and breakroom are requirements for a security training facility in my state. I know what is needed by the county, state, EPA, and BATFE in regards to licensing and regulations for the range and firearms, what I am not sure of is the business aspect. I was hoping someone who owns a range in Florida could help answer the few questions that I have left. Q1: I know the average mark-up for firearms and accessories in the area, but how can I find the cost of the firearms and accessories (wholesale/dealers price) or of any price breaks for bulk orders? The distributors will not talk to me until I have my FFL and I cannot get my FFL without a place for business and I cannot get a place of business without a business loan from a bank. Due to the economy and my age, 24, I am going to have to go to the bank with a DETAILED business plan and explain how they will get there money back. Q2: How do you pay a business loan back? Do you pay monthly payments (i.e. mortgage/car payment) or do you pay in back in a lump some with in so many years? If so what is the time frame it is to be paid back in? Q3: Do you know of any good insurance companies to cover my business (in Florida) and if so how much does it cost? Again they will not talk to me until I have a business. Q4: How much do lead removal services cost? The EPA mandates that a company has to come and remove lead from my dirt back stops and I'm sure it is not free. If I have the equipment am I allowed to do it myself? Q5: If you own an outdoor range in Fl, do you mind telling me an estimated cost of construction supplies for your outdoor range? Q6: I am looking a buying a large piece of land and I'm probably not going to find one with a building on it that suits my needs. Any ideas/suggestions on new construction vs. other options I am unaware of such as portable buildings (if they have them) Q7: What are the state and federal taxes (estimate of course) for running such a business in FL? Please, refrain from JUST telling me that this is an expensive business and that it will fail. I now that it will be expensive and that is why I need a DETAILED business plan for the bank. I am hoping for help with the few financial questions left to determine the over all cost and revenue I will need to acquire. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I appreciate and look forward to any responses.

Resolved Question: HELP! Please, will someone tell me what they think of the beginning of my book? Thanks.?

This is in the extremely rough stages, like straight from my head onto paper, but I hope you like it. Twenty high school students arrive at one of the many peaceful islands off the coast of Key West, Florida. Chaperoned by four adults, they are otherwise completely on their own. Three cabins house the several teens for the next two weeks. Unbeknownst to them, a category two hurricane is headed their way. “Cade! Hello!? I asked you to get the candy.” Dakoata Montgomery glared at the man across from her. “Sorry,” he mumbled, and grabbed the bag of Fourth of July leftovers. Cade dumped the contents on the coffee table, and sank into the over-stuffed sofa. “It’s fine.” Dakoata thumbed through the deck of cards, finally handing one to her partner. After arranging her deck into the classic Solitaire layout, she sat back in her chair. “Cade, turn up the radio,” she demanded suddenly, listening attentively. “… category two hurricane making its way towards Key West. The island is now on immediate alert for evacuation…” crackled the radio. Dakoata blinked. “I’m going to check the stations and make sure everything is alright.” She stood up, and straightened her jeans. The Coast Guard channels were silent, so Dakoata turned back to her game, a perplexed look painted on her face. Cade shook his head at the pretty girl. “Don’t worry. I don’t think anyone has decided to take a camping trip on any of the islands.” He laughed, and took a sip of his coffee. The two played for a while, until the thick metal door of the game room creaked open. “Oh, hey Cade, Dakoata.” A huge black man stepped inside, his deep bass resounding through the small room. “Hello Jeremiah.” Dakoata curled up on the old sofa. She closed her eyes, and listened to the icy rain hitting against the window. The Jamaican seated himself next to Cade after grabbing a soda from the mini refrigerator. “You playin’ solitaire?” Cade nodded, and concentrated on his game. Just then, the radio booted up. “Help! Help, please, someone… twenty teens… island flooding.” Dakoata leapt off the couch. “Cade, you said there was no one on the islands!” She grabbed the radio off the counter. He jumped up. “Hey, look. I didn’t know!” Dakoata turned on him. “Well next time, look better!” she yelled at him. Jeremiah moved between them. “Whoa guys. This ain’t no time to be arguin’. Now, obviously, there are a few people that need our help.” “It’s twenty people. Depending on how many people we have available, that’s gonna be at least three trips!” Cade’s jaw muscles bunched up in frustration. Jeremiah shifted his weight. “Actually, sir, we’ve only got one helicopter.” “Great, it’s going to be four trips.” Cade’s eyes darkened. Dakota, a helicopter pilot for three years, pulled on her water proof Coast Guard jacket, and rushed out of the game room. Cade followed behind Jeremiah to the outdoor landing pad. “Cade, find Kelley.” She was the flight engineer. Dakoata looked at Jeremiah “Run to the control tower, please. Check all of the islands, and see which ones have been checked out, and anyone who was on any island for the day. Cade, suit up.” He nodded, and grabbed his gear. Kelley came running out, shielding her eyes from the icy rain. “Dakoata, what’s going on?” She shook her head. “I’ll explain later. Just check the helicopter, and we’ll be going.” Dakoata stepped out into the storm, heading towards her helicopter, but Cade stopped her. “This is crazy! Why are we flying out in the middle of a hurricane for twenty kids?” “Excuse me? You think I’m crazy? I thought we were supposed to save people in trouble, but of course I don’t know anything!” She yelled in his face, pushing past him. Cade took a step back. “No, I think it’s crazy that we’re rescuing twenty people off a tiny island with one helicopter.” He felt his throat tighten in indignation.

Cade followed behind Jeremiah to the outdoor landing pad. “Cade, I need a flight engineer. Jeremiah, run to the control tower, please. Check all of the islands, and see which ones have been checked out, and anyone who was on any island for the day. Cade, will you be my copilot?” Cade nodded, and pulled on his flight gear. He sent a flight engineer out to Dakota, and checked for all the life jackets, adding more for the extra passengers.

Resolved Question: Could anyone reccomend any good protective work gear?

I've just been assigned a conditional place at East Durham's Houghall campus to study a BTEC National Diploma in Animal Management which I'm very excited about! The woman I was talking to was telling me of the kit I'm going to need for the course (providing I definitely get in, which I have to wait until August to find out). The kit I'm going to need is obviously going to have to be well made as I'm going to be working outdoor in all weathers with animals from rabbits > dogs > farm animals. I need: A pair of steel toe cap boots. Overalls/Boilersuit. Wellies (I have a pair of Hunters so this is fine) A warm coat (Im thinking of getting a Barbour) A hat,scarf and gloves. Thermal underlays etc And possibly a Gilet/Bodywarmer. If anyone can advise any good suppliers/brands I'll be grateful. It's just to give me an idea of the sort of thing/amount of money I'll be spending. Thanks!

Voting Question: does this sound like a fun outdoor survival game?

you are protected by pillows hidden under your clothes, there are some knifes you and your friends can have. You can cut each other's pillows. each knife is marked with a color and after 30 mins you guys check the pillows. the player with the most color paint from the knife on each pillow wins. Then you restart this time with air soft guns. Different color pellets. You win the same way. Now you pick either protective gear or pillows and you pick up paintball. Different color paints. If you win all you are the ultimate survivalist.
