The expo will enjoy many things never seen in Montana before, like a 90,000 gallon above ground kayaking, paddle boarding pond "The Glacier Lake" for attendees to try kayaking or paddle boarding maybe for the first time in a safe, controlled, comfortable environment. High Impact Archery Tournament will bring their mobile and pop-up 3D targets, sponsored by Straight 6 Archery. This competition promises a $500 first prize to the winner, which before this year was only found at the International Sportsman's Expos. Missoula is considered the central corridor for archery and bow hunting in the state of Montana so the challenge is going out to all archery competitors. If you can accurately shoot at 50 yards you can enter, regardless of age. You can sign up early at www.highimpactarchery.net. These are just a few of the hands on activities to be found only at MORE
