they keep trying to have them in Yellowknife and Hay River but so far i don't think they have been successful (they use to in the 90's.) PG is probably going to be the closest but i do know that a fellow from the Yukon recently took a BB course so maybe in the future.
you will enjoy shooting outdoors in the summer. when i was in Hay River on the "are you ready" command we would unzip the hood on the bug jacket and push it back. As soon as the gun was holstered it was zipped back up.

I dont think we will end up with IPSC here but the run and gun 3 gun stuff is really picking up. That and speed steel stuff. Closest IPSC matches to me are in Terrace. Then PG.
Trap shooters who travel between for matches, yearly RCMP vs trooper shoot each year(Whitehorse/Fairbanks) and vise versa. One pistol shooter that competes in Alaska. steel challenge/USPSA.

What does PC have to do with it?
If the Inuit people find that to be a disrepectful term then why use it?
I would hope in this day and age we would be capable of moving past those types of references.

Our culture has called a lot of people, a lot of things. don't make it right, man. don't make it right.

Why not?
Their summer shooting season may be short but they might have, or be able to build, some indoor ranges.

I'm not saying that it technically can't be done. Just that it should not be done, well at least for the next 60 years. They have tons of social problems. Firearms are strictly controlled by the police up there, most of them have to sign out and sign in their firearms at the police station (not in every village though). I probably sound like a gun-control freak but believe me, I am not. They are not ready yet to be allowed to have handguns and firearms in general. What I am saying might sound strange, but you have to spend 4 months there to understand.
True. I met alot of them calling themself eskimo. I don't think eskimo is a real word in inuktitut anyway, as the sound "e" doesn't even exist in their language.

I find it hard to believe it is like using the "N" word. Where I live "Eskimo" means a people who live in the far north and live off the land.
