Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• REI Co-op: REI is a national outdoor recreation retailer and co-op that also offers outdoor instruction (including archery clinics) and partners with experience providers. It serves the broader outdoor recreation customer that overlaps with TBSC's archery segment and event-driven consumers.
• National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF): NSSF is the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, and hunting/shooting sports industry, including range operators, instructors, and manufacturers. It is not a commercial peer but shapes the regulatory, certification, and training ecosystem in which TBSC operates through NSCA and instructor credentialing.

Broad incumbents

• Bass Pro Shops: Bass Pro Shops (including the integrated Cabela's brand) is the dominant U.S. hunting, fishing, and shooting sports retailer with destination store experiences. While a retailer rather than a range operator, its customer base, brand authority, and ecosystem position (including shooting schools and conservation events) broadly overlap with TBSC's recreational shooting customer.
• Academy Sports + Outdoors: Academy is a multi-category sporting goods retailer with meaningful exposure to hunting, shooting, and outdoor recreation merchandise and services. It addresses a similar end customer for sporting goods purchases adjacent to TBSC's shooting and archery activities.
• Orvis: Orvis is a heritage hunting, fishing, and sporting goods retailer that also runs Orvis-endorsed shooting schools and instructor networks. Its focus on wing-shooting instruction and clay target experiences overlaps directly with TBSC's sporting clays and private instruction offering.
• Dick's Sporting Goods: Dick's Sporting Goods is a national sporting goods retailer with hunting, shooting, and outdoor recreation categories and an installed base of customers who participate in shooting sports. It is broader in scope but competes for the same household outdoor recreation wallet share.

Direct peers

• Drive Shack: Drive Shack operates tech-enabled entertainment golf venues in a pay-per-play format with event hosting and food & beverage, mirroring TBSC's venue-based, per-use pricing for sporting activities. Its venue economics and event-driven GTM motion make it a directly comparable entertainment sports venue operator.
• TopGolf: TopGolf operates a network of entertainment-focused sports venues combining tech-enabled gameplay, memberships, lessons, food & beverage, and private events. While the core sport is golf rather than shooting, its pay-per-use + membership + corporate event business model is directly analogous to Tampa Bay Sporting Clays' hybrid revenue structure.
