Shooting Ranges in the US industry analysis

Over the past five years, shooting ranges have experienced a boom in popularity throughout the US. Growth was largely supported over the past five years by a surge in gun enthusiasm spurred by fears over stricter gun control laws. Economic growth during most of the period also contributed to greater interest in shooting ranges, as consumers were spending more disposable income on their hobbies and sports. Over the years to 2024, revenue grew at a CAGR of 6.3% to $5.7 billion, including a rise of 0.8% in 2024.

Trends and Insights

  • Increased gun enthusiasm has supported revenue growth. When gun ownership and enthusiasm intensify, shooting ranges observe a boost in visitation.
