Bob Wards is a good one stop Sporting Goods store. They generally have a decent ski department in the Winter, Good hunting and fishing supply, and good warm and cold weather apparel selection. They have a wide selection at reasonable prices. It is a Montana owned shop, they often have good sales and in general can satisfy many of the sporting needs of Montana Families. Even their binoculars/ spotting scopes/optics and reloading departments are reasonably well stocked. They may not have the best selection in every area but they give a good effort. Their staff is generally young and not terribly experienced but they seem to generally be enthusiastic and they try to be helpful and friendly. You may have to go to specialty shops occasionally but Bob Wards has been supplying Montanans with good value in Sporting Goods for all of my 61 years as far I know and they deserve your consideration. About 8 years ago when it was nearly impossible to find Made in America items anywhere, I found a pair of child's pac boots for a grandkid of high quality and Made in the US! That alone deserves respect! Give them a try! read more
