Randy Walk
Category B - Bowhunters who
have shown Excellence in the Design and Manufacturing of Archery Equipment
For Randy Walk, bowhunting has always been a way of
life. As a young boy his father Jay owned an archery shop and had a
tremendous passion for archery and specifically bowhunting. "Still
today I can smell the cedar arrows that my father would fletch for his
customers," commented Randy. "I loved spending time at the
archery shop with my parents and they tell me that I was quite a shot with
a bow and arrow almost as soon as I could walk." From those days as a
young boy just learning to walk, Randy hasn't put a bow down since. The
very first year he was able to hunt with a bow, he bagged a mule deer buck
in Southern Utah while on an annual family deer hunt. During his high
school years at Grantsville High, located in a rural farming community in
Northern Utah, he was already an accomplished big game hunter and had an
incredible ability to shoot a bow and arrow.
After graduating from high school in
1981. Randy enrolled in the electrical engineering program at the
University of Utah. Randy's ability for engineering was as strong as his
ability to shoot a bow, which made him the perfect fit for an engineering
position at Hoyt USA. Randy's talents, passion, and desire to succeed
propelled him up the company ladder quickly. In 1988, at the age of 25, he
found himself leading the entire engineering efforts at Hoyt USA and today
sits as the company President, a company that has become a leader in
compound and recurve bow design and innovation. Randy is responsible for
several compound bow patents all of which have had substantial impact on
the compound bow today.
Randy has harvested over 100 North
American big game animals and 15 different species of African animals.
Randy resides in Utah with his wife Diana and has three boys, Brandon,
Remington and Preston all who share the passion of bowhunting their father
has.
