Just a WP:DICDEF with a horribly outdated list of states that hold them. The links at the bottom are just primary sources that do not confer notability. Was prodded in 2013 but removed without comment. Suggest deletion or redirection to Shooting sports Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:48, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Previously nominated via WP:PROD, ineligible for soft deletion.

• Delete No sources on Google/Google News to establish notability. Almost all of the sources (external links) that are currently in the article say "page not found". The content of this article is very likely original research or comes from sources that do not themselves establish notability. Just because anyone holds a competition of any sort does not in itself mean that competition is notable.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 01:44, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
