About the industry
A thriving, community-based industry

U.S. shooting-range market size
4.6%
avg. annual growth, last 5 years

Gun ranges are a thriving industry in the U.S. and an important part of their local communities. The shooting range industry boasts a market size of at least $4 billion and average industry growth of 4.6% over the last five years (source: IBISWorld).

Shooting ranges are also a critical part of the larger firearms industry. They give customers a place to improve their marksmanship, learn about new guns, and connect with others in their community who are passionate about firearms.

Whether a range offers ammunition for sale, firearms instruction, target practice, or all of the above and more, it's clear the shooting range industry is here to stay.

Shooting Range Merchant Account FAQ

What kinds of shooting range businesses do you accept?

A wide variety — firearms retailers that run a range as an ancillary business, and businesses whose range is their primary or sole service. All merchants must abide by applicable Federal, State, and Local laws and regulations.

What does my range need to qualify for a merchant account?

Your business must operate solely in the U.S. (owner a U.S. citizen with an SSN), and you'll provide a voided business check or bank letter, a valid government ID, 3 months of business bank statements, and 3 months of prior processing statements if applicable. Firearms dealers must hold an FFL; training providers must show documented instructor certification (NRA, TCOLE, security-officer, or military).

Is TacticalPay compatible with my range and POS software?

Almost certainly. Because we work with most major gateways — Authorize.net, USAePay, and NMI — we integrate with most firearms inventory and POS systems, including Stratus Retail, Windward, Elliott, Gun StoreMaster, Rapid Gun Systems, AIMsi, Epicor FFL Compliance Manager, Firearms Management Systems, and GunBroker.

Why do mainstream banks turn down ranges?

Two reasons: firearm sales are federally regulated and need extra underwriting most processors won't do, and some banks take an anti-2A stance and refuse ranges outright. TacticalPay was founded specifically to serve firearms businesses, so neither is a problem here.

How fast can my range get approved?

Most ranges are approved in 24–72 hours. You can start your application in minutes and our USA-based team handles the firearms-aware underwriting right after.
