Q5 and Quilomene Hunting Vests
Q5 Outdoor Products was started by Dan Priest in 2011. He saw a need for a hunting vest that was "comfortable while carrying a load, versatile, and adjustable". Along with seeing a need for a high quality hunting vest, he also saw the need to help kids experience the outdoors, just like he did as a boy. Because of this, along with Q5, he also started Arizona Outdoor Adventure. This organization helps children, especially those from underpriveleged families, have opportunities to experience all the amzing nature that Arizona has to offer. These things, and many more, are why Valley of the Sun Quail Forever not only loves, supports, and wears Q5 products, but we are also honored to have them participate in helping us raise funds to be able to put back into enhancing the habitat in our home state of Arizona.

Since they are simple rubber band calls, replacing the "reed" is very easy. Most are made to order, but he usually has a calls on hand and available for immediate shipment.

Cabela's
Few, if any, businesses today survive the kitchen-table dreams of their founders, especially in the outdoor industry where businesses come and go with the changing seasons. Cabela's, the World's Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, was born somewhat inadvertently in 1961 when Dick Cabela came up with a plan to sell fishing flies he purchased while at a furniture show in Chicago. Upon returning home to Chappell, Nebraska, Dick ran a classified ad in the Casper, Wyoming, newspaper reading: "12 hand-tied flies for $1." It generated one response. Undaunted, Dick formulated a new plan, rewriting the ad to read "FREE Introductory offer! 5 hand tied Flies....25c Postage....Handling" and placing it in national outdoor magazines. It didn't take long for the orders to begin arriving from sportsmen and women around the country. In typical direct-mail style, each order was mailed out with a mimeographed catalog of outdoor items Dick and his wife, Mary, added to their product line. In the beginning, Dick and Mary ran the business from the kitchen table of their home in Chappell. As many of you know, Cabela's has know grown to be the leader in the outdoor equipment business and to become the largest mail-order, retail and Internet outdoor outfitter in the world.

Happy Mind Happy Body
Happy Mind Happy Body is a chiropractic wellness clinic that specializes in three specific areas: mind balance, body balance, and spirit balance. Breathing is a vital part of the healing process. During the “Mind Balance” phase, you will be given an option to sit in our breathing lounge and guided into a state of relaxation for 10 minutes prior to your treatment. Your choice of Aromatherapy oil will help awaken your “sense of smell,” allowing your limbic system to activate your desired outcome. Additionally, your “sense of hearing” will enjoy relaxing healing music or a guided mediation. To help further deepen your relaxation experience, “sense of vision” may be stimulated by using your mandala of the day. Finally, hydrating spa water is used to rouse your “sense of taste.”Stress, poor diet, and life’s daily demands force the energetic body out of balance. This makes “Body Balance” the logical next step in returning to equilibrium. We will serve you with a variety of healing options, including: Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Massage Therapy, Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy, Low Level Laser Therapy, Allergy Desensitizing or Detoxification. At the conclusion of each session the Doctor or Therapist will give you the option to receive a powerful rebalance treatment. This may include healing affirmations, yoga poses, sound therapy, vibration therapy, color therapy, or lasers to remove blocked energy. This step helps activate the senses of sound, touch and sight. This combination of balancing leaves the body fully recovered. If you're looking for a life rebalance, Healthy Mind Healthy Body is the place to go!
