Howard is State Champion trap shooter

Landyn Howard of Valliant recently won the State Championship in Trap Shooting in El Reno and was named the most outstanding shooter in his division.

Landyn, an 8th grader at Valliant Middle School, shot a perfect 25 for 25, then defeated a student from Woodward in the championship round by two shots to win the title in the junior division.

The son of Rachel and Tommy Howard, Landyn is Valliant’s second-ever State Champion trap shooter.

A special thank you to the Choctaw Wildlife Youth Camp, where he first experienced this sport last summer. Congratulations, Landyn!
