Objectives:
Saginaw Texas is a traditional and conservative city adjoing several other municipalities including Fort Worth. The city has high traffic flow from North Fort Worth through Downtown. Most of the regional population is agreeable to the shooting scene.
Saginaw Indoor Gun Range ( http://saginawindoorgunrange.yolasite.com/ & www.gunnysrange.com & gunnysrange@gmail.com ) purpose is to provide the local and regional community with a high quality indoor handgun and 2 lane rifle range that is above all, safe, bright and well lit in shooting stall and downrange, provide exceptional ventilation beyond OSHA standards, smoke and lead removal per NRA and OSHA standards, good acoustic suppression and 4-5 preset distance target retrieval system. The environment is functional in yet pleasing in aesthetics to create a welcoming mindset with family people. Ranges are mostly designed to market men, that IS A GIVEN, they will come. We really want to target BEYOND men to women, LE and even children who are assisted by educated and trained parents.
We will advertise by Saginaw Chamber of Commerce publications, modest road sign visible to Saginaw Rd. traffic, modest local event sponsorship, small ads in local papers, free publications, commerce website, Google Places, MySpace, Tweeter, Facebook and by social networking circles.
Eagerly serving the immediate proximity LE Community (Saginaw, Blue Mound, Lake Worth, NRHPD, Euless, Fort Worth, Tarrant County College Police Academy, etc.) Security Personnel and other weapons specialist operators. Phone, email and in person lane reservations to LE a big priority.
Educate and train children,their families and Boy Scouts by NRA gun safety, qualification and awareness programs. Placing an importance ingraining in people of all ages to become safe and responsible gun owners. We will endeavor to help others to become comfortable and confident around weapons so providing a good reputation of our range by word of mouth. Marketing to LE to encourage personnel presence goes a long way to encourage visiting customers where they would see Police cars parked in the parking lot. Customer feedback by our website, in store or otherwise is highly desired and encouraged. We will endeavour to keep ourselves humble, transparent and honest with ourselves in keeping our high principles by a written constitution.
Carry out CHL classes, NRA series of handgun basics, basic marksmanship and Security Personnel Certificaion classes. Texas Law Shield legal classes for legal understanding ofTexas gun and liability laws. Cater to women who want to purchase and train with handguns but are afraid and or discouraged by prejudiced people.
Women
One major growth in this industry is women shooters-not just for self-defense, but for sport. We will place high priority to foster a lady friendly environment where they are made to feel safe, welcomed and encouraged when they visit us. Women are prejudiced and intimidated from some men subconsciously. We know they are an important influence and impact on our communities, their promotion will build a healthy perspective concerning the shooting sport. They will develop confidence and proficiency concerning shooting skills for self defense too. They would be catered to in a home type environment to fellowship with others as well as becoming involved in a ladies league night. Major decisions will be according to how ladies will perceive us which factors in taste and prudence.
Providing reasonably priced ammo, gun sales, retail sales and range use with a regional median price point compared to other range operations. Future expansion in this location to include tactical training and self defense with weapons and martial arts.

People in the Saginaw TX area would have to drive to the nearest indoor gun range (IGR) in a bad neighborhood where they operate out of a dismal old strip mall. We offer a very convenient location in a small industrial section just off the main drag of Saginaw TX.. People would have to drive on I35 freeway caught in bumper to bumper traffic while travelling 30 - 50 minutes either south or north to outdoor ranges. Saginaw is a very fast growing small city with great traffic flow, very nice community of hunters, fishers and shooters.

Developing an ongoing foundation of regular retail customers, club memberships and classroom activities will lead to our long term success. By keeping ourselves as a cohesive team to serve our customers in a traditional manner we will help others to succeed in their pursuits as Zig Ziglar said, therefore we will succeed.
