History of Flaming Arrow Archery
We will be celebrating 20 YEARS in 2025!!!! Dennis Brieske opened Flaming Arrow Archery the summer of 2005, next door to his collision repair shop, Brieske’s. He had a passion for archery for the past 30 years, and an avid bowhunter for the 25 years before opening. He was trained and certified by the NFAA (Nation Field Archery Association) as an instructor. He had participated in various competitions and has been a three-time state champion. Dennis passed away in October 2016. His family decided to get out of the archery business in 2017, Nicole Tindale has taken it over and we are still going strong. Dennis worked closely with Nicole before he passed to not only run the shop, but also repair, replace, and do anything we need to do that is archery related. Nicole is a Level 2 USA certified instructor. In 2018, she also was certified in S3DA instruction. This year, 2023 Nicole participated the Montana State Shoot Tournaments and took first place overall! You’ll be seeing more target selections coming into the shop as we hope to grow the indoor and outdoor tournament side of archery. Archery becomes something we enjoy as an individual sport, then you become so hooked, you just continue to progress in this sport. We are very lucky our archery community is so great, being involved, with it for yourself, helping the youth get into or whatever, as time progresses we become a huge family.
“You don’t have to be a bow hunter to enjoy archery, but you have to be a good archer to be a successful bow hunter”.
