Becoming An Iron Peach
It's easy to become an Iron Peach. Any woman who takes at least one qualifying course at WFA is eligible to join the group. This requirement helps ensure that every member has an understanding of firearm safety and understands the fundamentals of shooting. Qualifying courses include: NRA Basic Pistol, NRA Basic Rifle, NRA Basic Shotgun, or any course listed above this level in the pistol, rifle, or shotgun category of our course dashboard. Additionally, private instruction qualifies on a case by case basis.
Member Participation
Upon joining, we ask members to complete a brief survey about their interests which helps us identify and plan Iron Peach activities. Members participate in as many or as few activities and events as they wish. However, depending on the activity or event, space may be limited. Additionally, we try to obtain group discounts whenever possible to reduce the cost of the events for each member participating.
Many of the events are for members only, however, we sometimes have events where members can invite their husbands, significant others or friends.
Event Planning
We can always use help planning events and activities. All members' assistance and suggestions are welcome. Any member who is willing to make the time and has the energy and desire to lead one of our events should express their interest to Nicole Ferguson.
