Ever thought about starting a business that hits the mark every time? A “targets business” might be the way forward.

In simple terms, a targets business involves designing and manufacturing shooting targets for recreational, training, or professional use. This can range from paper and cardboard targets to more advanced steel or polymer designs, catering to a diverse range of customers from hobbyists to law enforcement agencies.

The rise in shooting sports and the need for reliable training tools has created a constant demand for quality targets. This business idea is versatile; you can start small, focusing on local shooting ranges, or scale up to supply law enforcement and military training centers.

To succeed, you will need to research materials, design effective targets, and establish relationships with shooting ranges and training institutes. It’s a hands-on business that requires precision, but the payoff can be well worth the effort.

In this list, you'll find real-world targets business success stories and very profitable examples of starting a targets business that makes money.
