HAVING a bow and arrow in hand is when Heywood archer Wendy Gallagher is most at home, which will be the case across the weekend as she takes on the Australian Bowhunting Association national championships.

Gallagher will be joined by another local archer, Phil Showler, with the pair travelling to the home of bowhunting in the country, Australian Bowhunting Association’s National Field Venue in New South Wales.
