Looking to open a field with small store in WI

I am from Wisconsin where we have about 5 good months of outdoor weather. I am wanting to start an outdoor field with a small pro shop. My folks are looking at buying about 40 acres in the area. I am looking for all the help i can get from the owners that have been very successful in starting their own field...

will greatly, greatly appreciate the help

Look into attending Paintball Extravaganza in February. A great way to meet suppliers, take some training and talk to others that operate stores and fields.

What area of WI are you looking at? As a local player some areas seem to have too many fields for the population, while others have no where near enough.

We desperately need more indoor fields, what with the weather and all, but of course the start up costs for those are quite high.

it would be around the Menomonee Falls/ Germantown Area. I know there is quite a few in the milwaukee area, but not many in the waukesha/washington county area.
