Shooting over their health barriers
JAMES BAKER

Two Pukekohe archers have over-
come health barriers to find suc-
cess at the end of a bow.
    Jill Gillette, 46, and Regan
Walters, 17, both won gold during
the NZFAA Bow Hunter National
and Series competition on July 20
and 21.
    Their national success means
the two will travel to South
Dakota, USA, to represent New
Zealand at the World Bow Hunter
Championship on September 9.
    Known as the world cup of field
archery, the competition is the
latest stepping stone in a long list
of accomplishments for the duo.
    But it hasn’t been an easy road
for either, both having overcome                                                                                                                                                            Archers Jill
