Questions about starting a range

[RRD3]

After talking to a few people here and there and posting this question on a few forums there doesn't seem to be any long range shooting schools. I'm not sure what the demand would be for something like this, but I'd be interested in trying to start one.

In the State of Colorado, does anyone know what is needed to start this kind of school as well as laws in Colorado regarding the range?

If anyone knows let me know, or if you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Byers Gun club has several long range lanes.. you could maybe talk with them..

Yea... that's the Colorado Rifle Club. Good group of people but I'm not sure if they would be willing to point me in any direction that would lead to direct competition with their program.

Although I don't think they offer any long range training programs other than a general rifle safety type class.

Want me to ask some questions about insurance restrictions?

[RRD3]

I know that I would have to have a huge insurance policy, but I'm not sure as to what needs to be covered and how much.
All information regarding the start up of this type of business would be GREATLY appreciated.

I wonder where we could lease the property for this? Out East, or up North. My yard isn't deep enough. I have some land in Nebraska, but that is a little far to drive.

I think you are a bit confused about what a huge insurance policy would actually be. I can't see any reason why you couldn't have just a regular $1 million / $2 million General Liability policy. It might be costly, but probably not. If you are going to be teaching a class, that opens up other issues and you might have to get some sort of professional Errors and Omissions policy. That in turn is another issue, because you usually wouldn't get an E&O policy unless you are some sort of licensed professional.
