Any archery shops or any one live in Gardiner Mt

[wenselkid]

There used to be a great outdoor shooting course at Lone Pine State Park in Kalispell. I used to shoot there alot when I lived in the Flathead. It has been 20 years now, so I'm not sure if it is still around. It's no day trip (Kalispell is a good 6 hours from Gardiner), but it may be something to think about for a weekend or such. You'll love MT, once you've spent some time there it will stay in your soul.....Trust me.

Hey Cody...I'm probably closest to you, just up the road about 50 miles from Yellowstone.   Doug lives another 20-some miles further.  Feel free to stop in anytime.   The closest archery shops have been mentioned....Yellowstone Gateway sports is in Livingston, and can get some basic stuff for you if needed.  No close ranges for you to shoot at, but plenty of wide open spaces and mountains to climb and stump in!  There will be a Moose Creek shoot, in June...I think it's the third weekend.   Moose Creek is south of Bozeman, and not too far to drive, if you want to meet some of us "locals".   Anyway, you'll have some fun working in the park, I'm sure.  Get ahold of me if you want....we can shoot here at the house, and even make a bow or two if you have the desire.

What type of work are you doing in the park?  I lived in Bozeman for the last dozen years or so and all the shops have been mentioned.  I moved back to Michigan and have regreted it everyday...you won't want to come back, stay as long as you can!

A little off topic, but make time to go through the Lamar Valley to Cook City and then over to Cody Wyo. to Buffalo Bill Cody Museum which is one of the premier museums in the USA.They have an incredible firearms collection and also an excellent Native American history section - they rec. two days at the museum and you'll need it. The drive to Cody is also awesome scenery.

I was in Bozeman today, & thought I'd stop at Big Sky Archery on the way home. They had a few factory recurves, A Bear Kodiak Mag for $550  Wow, a Grizzly for $425, Maybe the one that was actually worth the asking price was a Wing Hunter for $130. I thought the prices were a little high. Frank

You are moving to a great place, Cody. Was blessed to call it home for a while, and make friends like Mark, Randy, Doug. I miss it every day. Make the most of it.

Bear I called the park ranger and he told me I could bring my bow but I cant shoot inside the park but I will be out side of the park anyways so I have a lot of space where I can shoot my bow.. O yes I will be takeing LOTS of pics....

I worked in the park for two seasons, 95 and 03. The person over the entire lower loop for Xanterra is a good friend from college. He's the one who first brought me out there in 95.

It is a wonderful place. Lived in Livingston for nine months in 06, too. When you arrive in Gardiner be sure and get a burger from Helen's. Wash it down with a Fat Tire from the Two Bit. And take Mark something special to hang on his fence. You'll understand all of this when you get there. God, I miss it.
