Nice area. I make a couple trips a year to Kalispell. Don't think I'm familiar with Spirit Quest Archery. Is that the shop just south of town on 93. Has an indoor range, but almost totally compound oriented.

Have a safe trip! The rest of the Iowans will stay home and look after the late split bucks for you:)

I see you are also from Eastern Iowa. My grandfather and mother live in Kalispel, and my mother just returned from a visit. Enjoy Big Sky country.

i agree! flew into to kalispell last summer and stayed in whitefish on whitefish lake...best vacation of my life. go check out glacier national park...the beauty will be burned in your mind forever. the place is just breath taking. big mountain just north of whitefish is also where the late great paul schafer left us in a skiing accident if ya want say a prayer. MT is an amazing place. im jealous of whoever lives there! (except in the winter ofcourse) haha
