There's a lot of Kansas that's 90-120mi from KC. I'm in Wichita, but I travel around the state a lot. Beyond just looking for shops near you, it's really not that hard to find an excuse to visit a range and do some instruction, just not sure where you might be located, to determine whether that was feasible or not.

These are terrible. Quite simply, they do NOT tell you where your arrow will hit. They only tell you where it is pointed when you turn it on. They give new shooters hope that they are actually sighting in their bow, but the reality is that the arrow, when the bow is at rest, is NOT pointing the same direction as when it is drawn (except for dual/binary/twin cam bows - which you don't have). You can get a little closer by drawing the bow, but to make adjustments to your bow with it drawn is incredibly dangerous, and I'd venture it's safe to assume that you don't own a draw board or hooter shooter. The lasers can get you on the target at 10yrds, but won't actually help you sight in - and for the cost, it's easy enough to eyeball your initial sight position. Rifle shooters that wanted to take up archery thought it'd be a good idea, since laser boresighters are all the rage these days, but a bow isn't a rifle barrel.
IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS - LASER ARROW GUIDES ARE USELESS FOR SINGLE CAM BOWS.
