Bennie Gatski Poised for West Virginia Open Archery Showdown
Grant Town archer Bennie Gatski, famed for state honors and a national runner-up finish, competes at Beckley Archery Club in the West Virginia Bowhunters State Open. Despite heavy rain last year washing out records, Gatski remains a top figure, with family ties to pro football and a career spanning archery since 1941. Weather and rounds aside, he is considered a favorite to win as the event unfolds over Saturday and Sunday.
