+1 on allowing draw-from-the-holster at shooting stations.
If your insurance/liability concerns require that patrons only use ammo bought from you, do not jack the price up well above your quantity-discount price. We know you also have to pay shipping, and that there is an expense in storing all that ammo, but we still also know what Wally World charges us for WWB and we get upset.
Speaking of allowed amo - allow JHP. We know it creates additional problems with lead abatement, but it's what we carry for SD and we want to practice with it.
Reactive targets. Bring back bowling pin matches and dueling-tree matches. Can you bring in a car body (OK, just the front seat & dashboard) for carjacking defense skills building? I'm not in favor of the IPSIC/IDPA "games" but what is called practical shooting (looser rules, less formailty) is good training.
Be a source for good leather Open Carry holsters - not duty gear. You don't need to stock them although that would be fantastic. Just help us find ones that fit our guns and look pretty.
Reasonable transfer fees if you are going to handle transfers. If you don't want to do them just say so instead of charging outrageous fees.
Think of the children! Schedule some activities for kids so they can be introduced to the shooting sports.
Hope I have not overwhelmed you, because there is a lot more. This will do for starters.
stay safe, and thanks for thinking about opening a new range.
