Make the most of archery in your gun shop - Outdoor Marketplace

Author: Shooting Industry

"If you're a gun dealer, there's definitely money in archery for you," said Julio Claps, owner of Camillus Gun & Bait outside Syracuse, N.Y.

Julio knows what he's talking about. He has been working in a retail gun and archery shop for 20 years.

"Archery equipment has better profit margins and you have more return customers for service all the time," said Julio. "They come in for bowstrings, arrows--there are lots of accessories. If it's not an arrow rest, it's a sight, and if it's not a sight, it's a release. There's always something new.

Julio's father, Julius Claps, started Camillus Gun & Bait as a gun shop and hobby 20 years ago. When Julio graduated from school, he found he was working full time in what started as a part-time business. With that, the shop was off and running. In 1988, he and his father added archery to the shop.

"The archery part of the business started taking off, and now it's 90 percent of what we do," Julio said. "We moved, and put an addition on the building so we could have indoor shooting lanes. We've gone from nothing to everything, and we've done it without taking out any loans."

For the past five years or so, as Julius has moved toward retirement, Julio has taken over management of the shop.

Involve yourself in a worthwhile program - programs of archery associations

Author: Shooting Industry

Archery organizations across the United States and Canada hold weekend shoots called jamborees that are not only a lot of fun for archers, but also money makers for dealers. The shoots are open to all ages and abilities, and offer many shooting styles with 3-D the most popular.

Jamborees are a great opportunity for the dealer to go to the consumer. At the Colorado Bowhunters Association Jamboree, held near Leadville, Colo., there were 1,275 registered participants; with approximately 3,000 total atttendees. Smart dealers and bowmakers from near and far set up their displays in "Dealer Alley."

At the Colorado Jamboree, the dealers present included Bob and Alberta Taylor, of Bob's Archery Sales, Denver, Colo., and Veto and Claris Butler, of Butler Traditional Bowhunting Supplies, Evanston, Wyo. Bowmakers included Dick Boss, of Boss Bows, Elizabeth, Colo., and Herb Meland, of Pronghorn Custom Bows, Casper, Wyo.

Attendees of the shoots were obviously interested in buying bows and archery tackle. "We turned $6,000 over the weekend," one dealer confided. "Not bad gross sales for two days."

The jamboree was a show-and-tell event; a perfect opportunity for shoppers to look, handle products and ask questions, all in a setting that built great customer/dealer relations.

Getting To Good: Your Spontaneous Woo Quotient

Getting To Good: Your Spontaneous Woo Quotient

Author: Maya Talisman Frost

As I was driving to a friend's house, I passed the Dublin Pub, a local watering hole known for its live music. On the reader board, one band's name caught my eye: Spontaneous Woo.

I did a little digging and learned that the band hails from Bay City, Michigan and offers a funk/jazz blend. The term "spontaneous woo" refers to an audience response often seen during concerts in which a rising tide of enthusiasm culminates in a distinctive eruption of happy exclamations.

Now, there�s a universal human experience. There is nothing quite like letting out a joyous, spontaneous "Woo!" when things are going our way. We might personalize our woo, making it come out as "Yesss!" or "Sweeeeeet" or even "Woo-HOO!"

There�s an appropriate word for this in every language. No matter what elicits this response, we know it means something good has happened. We recognize these woos, whether inspired by simple pleasures or major milestones, as a celebration of goodness. What makes us woo tells us a whole lot about what we value, and what we value is all that is "good".

What is "good"? How do we define it?

The British poet, W.H. Auden, said: "Goodness is easier to recognize than to define." Isn't that the truth!

We know "good" when we see it, just like we know when something is woo-worthy. Putting this into words
in a consistent way is tough. This is where your personal philosophy comes in. Realize that your ideas of what makes a life "good" come from the people you know, the books you've read, the movies you've seen, and a host of influences you can't remember right now.

We use "good" to describe everything from a haircut to a mathematical theory. Essentially, something
is "good" if it satisfies a certain expectation we have of it--it hits the target. A "good" cup of coffee could be strong, weak, bitter, sweet, milky, steaming hot, black, organic, shade-grown, or free, depending on what you value.

"Good" may be a moving target, but Aristotle happened to like the whole idea of targets. He used the Greek
word "telos" which was the term used to describe an archery bulls-eye. It's a simple mental image--a big circle with a dot in the middle.

Teleology refers to the study of the purpose of things. Aristotle believed that everything in nature has a purpose, or target. A thing is good if it serves its purpose, fulfills its mission, or hits its target. The whole world is made up of these interrelated purposes.

According to Aristotle, our purpose is to think in order to live a good life. We're supposed to use our brains to contemplate, to appreciate the complexity of the universe, to attain greater understanding of our role as humans, and to be happy. By fulfilling our role as thinkers, we are living to purpose-we are living a good life.

What does that mean exactly? What do we use as guidelines or markers to help us determine if we are getting close to good?

If, as Aristotle says, our purpose is to live a good life and be happy, why isn't there some simple formula we can apply to everyone? What's the minimum woo-quotient of a good life? Can we be happy if we're not living a good life? Can we live a good life if we're not happy?

How much do we need to be happy? We all know plenty of people who never seem to be happy no matter how much they have. One of our greatest
challenges as humans is figuring out how much is enough.

Aristotle believed that we need to use courage, honesty and moderation in pursuing pleasure. He considered moral goodness and enjoyment in life as the
same thing. He believed it was okay to pursue anything you want, as long as you don't go overboard. This concept of moderation became known as the "golden mean".

Not surprisingly, this golden mean became a popular idea, especially among the rich. It was just what they wanted to hear! Remember that the majority of
Aristotle's students were wealthy--who else had the time to study philosophy all day? Aristotle himself ended up being handsomely paid--especially for a
philosopher!

Aristotle had his work cut out for him trying to remain moral while becoming wealthy. His most famous student, the classic overachiever Alexander the Great, clearly never got the point about moderation. Aristotle's emphasis on the golden mean got lost in all the excitement about pursuing whatever you like.

Hmmmm. Sounds a lot like modern life, doesn't it?

What kind of life would Aristotle suggest we live in the midst of all the stuff of the 21st century? What does moderation mean now?

Wealthy people are not necessarily more or less moral than anyone else, but they ARE tested more than the rest of us. They have the means to live an excessive lifestyle if they choose to do so. If you live large, your morality--or lack thereof--is magnified for the world to see. Add a dash of celebrity and a stint on TV, and you start serving as some sort of example.

This is where we get confused between "a good life" and "the good life".

We're fascinated by the choices people make when they have the ability to live any way they choose. We read magazines featuring photographs of celebrities in
their homes. We watch television shows that give us tours of the properties owned by billionaires. We're
both fascinated and repelled by reality shows that offer riches to those who manipulate others.

Why? It's because we're curious about the choices made, and we wonder what we would do given the same set of circumstances.

Seeing the homes, the furnishings, and the cars gives us an idea of what is valued by the individual. We watch because we wonder what choices we would
make if we had the same bank account. Would we be extravagant? Would we live simply? Would we be tacky or tasteful? Would we horrify the neighbors or build a better community? Would our children be kind, compassionate, and generous, or would they be self-centered brats with a huge sense of entitlement?

Would we be like Sting--or Ozzy Osbourne? Would we have daughters like Sofia Coppola--or Paris Hilton?

Most of us have the, uh, good fortune of not being tempted to live without limits. Without being fully tested, we don't really know how we'd fare in a world of big money and bigger visibility.

The wonderful thing about living a good life is that it is possible to do it at any economic level. You can live a good life in poverty or wealth. Though we tend to think it's a lot easier to be an excellent human when we have sufficient funds in the bank, both versions--rich and poor--come with plenty of challenges.

It's tempting to put off becoming your best self until you believe you have the financial support to do it. "I'll be generous once I get to the top," you think. "I'll be kinder when I'm not so stressed." "I'll give back to the
community when I retire."

There's no dollar amount that precludes or guarantees a good life, and there's no reason to postpone your own greatness. You may win the lottery tomorrow, or you may lose everything. Despite any dramatic shifts in your personal fortune, you can live a good life today.

Note and relish your own spontaneous woos on a daily basis, and look for ways to increase and deepen them.
Think, be happy, and share that wealth in words, wit, and warmth.

The good life never felt so good.

Getting into the archery game - Howell's Guns and Archery Center

Author: Shooting Industry

Adding Bows And To Your Gun Shop Expands The Selling Season And Increases Profits

What's the product mix in your store? Predominantly guns? Guns and fishing equipment? Guns and archery?

If you're leaving archery out of your mix, you're missing an opportunity to increase sales and add profit. Managed right, archery equipment can enhance your bottom line all year.

Just ask Howell Copp, owner of Howell's Guns and Archery Center, on Route 202 in Gray, Maine. He's been at the same location for 15 years, and tried a lot of different product mixes in his store before arriving at the one he has today: guns and archery.

Prior to opening Howell's, Copp worked with his father and brothers in the automobile business. But he was an avid hunter and skeet shooter, and wanted to find a way to make a living on his own that was related to those interests.

Then, 15 years ago, Copp bought the inventory of a sporting goods store which was going out of business. The inventory was mostly grins and fishing equipment. so that was where he began.

"I think I probably had more fishing tackle than anything else," he says. "In the early days, we tried to stretch out our seasons, and because we had that inventory, we stayed with guns and fishing. We did a pretty fair fishing business for about the first five or six years."

Darton meets the needs of the smaller archer - Darton Archery

Author: Shooting Industry

As the number of women archers has grown, the number of companies offering bows and other equipment for small-framed shooters has increased as well. One company that's always had a broad range of products, with some suitable for smaller archers, is Darton Archery.

Ron Pittsley is national sales manager for Darton. He says the year 2000 will actually be Darton's 50th year in business.

"Darton migrated into the archery business," Pittsley said, "but it's quite an old company. It began by making accessories for the archery industry, such as finger tabs, arm guards and leather goods. Dealers who sold our accessories were pleased with them, and it was kind of a natural progression for the company to move into manufacturing bows."

Darton Archery's parent company, Container Specialties Inc., started out primarily servicing the automobile industry in Flint, Mich. During the summer months, however the automobile industry practically shut down for model changes, leaving Darton with little to do.

"There was a need to find another product line to fill in," said Rex Darlington, president of Darton. "Archery offered the ideal solution because of the growing market and the buying season being June through August. A number of employees were involved in archery and the equipment and expertise required already existed for designing and making accessories such as arm guards, quivers, shooting gloves and tabs."

Author: Shooting Industry

BowTech Archery has acquired Diamond Archery. The move allows BowTech to reach into mid-range price points in bowhunting, while providing a second channel of distribution, according to company officials.

"This acquisition provides the capability to go after a portion of the bowhunting market that we've never touched, without annoying key pro shop partners (who) rely on the more exclusive high-end BowTech brand of products," said John Strasheim, BowTech CEO.

Unlike the BowTech brand, which will still be available through archery pro shops and authorized dealerships, the Diamond brand will also be distributed through mass merchandisers and sporting goods stores.
