Friend, I left the Flathead in 1990. At that time there was NO SHORTAGE of like-minded people to shoot with and I can't conceive that has changed! The good ol' boys at Montana Rifle Barrels and BDX Mfg. in Kalispell can probly steer you towards a 1000 yd. spot. When I lived there I used a gravel pit out West on Hwy.2 towards Libby that gave me 500 yds. in a very safe manner. Quite likely the good folks at Snappy's in Evergreen can give you good direction, also.
