    Exclamation Need to know of any ranges/clubs in Philly area that host open competitions

    Hey everyone, need some feedback from anyone that knows ( a list, website or contact info would be greatly appreciated) of what clubs in the Del Co, Chester Co, Lancaster Co, Bucks Co, Berks Co, Monmouth Co areas host "open" competitions in plate shoots (pistol) and IDPA. As most of you know, my nearly 8 year old daughter has been shooting for some time and recently entered the competitive arena. Today I spoke to the owner of a local shop that is willing to consider sponsoring her next season, but its predicated on the fact that she's traveling to other areas to compete ( understandable) and I have no idea which clubs host plate/IDPA shoots within an hour to two hours max drive from us and wouldnt have a problem with a kid entering.

    Some clubs get really ansy and want NO part of a kid under a certain age shooting at all, let alone drawing from a holster and shooting, regardless of how well they demonstrate their skill and safe handling ability.

    Any help ?
