Silencer Central Pens Partnership Agreement with Outdoorsman Jim Shockey

Sioux Falls, South Dakota – May 12, 2022 – Silencer Central, America’s largest silencer dealer, is thrilled to announce their newest partnership agreement with Canadian outdoorsman Jim Shockey. Shockey joins a growing list of partners who are dedicated to demonstrating the benefits of hunting suppressed and the use of suppressors in the outdoor industry.

Jim Shockey is an award-winning outdoor writer, wildlife photographer, videographer, naturalist, television producer and host, wilderness guide and outfitter. He owns exclusive outfitting territories in Canada’s wildlands including the renowned Pacific Rim Guide Territory on Vancouver Island, and the famed Rogue River Outfitting in the Yukon Territory. His outdoor television productions have won numerous awards from 2009-2017.

“Jim will not be hunting suppressed in Canada since they are not legal across the border, however, his involvement in the outdoor industry and his dedication to educating hunters in the U.S. through his work will be beneficial to Silencer Central and our customers,” said Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central. “As we look to expand our reach and further educate others on hunting suppressed, Jim’s extensive audience is a target market, and we look forward to working closely with him through this partnership.”

Shockey attended Simon Fraser University and Carleton University in Canada and was an all-American swimmer and member of the Canadian National Water Polo team, attending two World Championships. He averages over 300 days on the road a year, gravelling around the world to some of the most exotic corners of the planet. He and his wife, Louise, have been married for 37 years and have two children- Branlin and Eva- and four grandchildren.

Through the partnership and ambassador programs, Silencer Central strives to break the stigma surrounding silencers. An exceptional tool for sound elimination and recoil reduction, suppressors are multi-functional and great when used properly by hunters. Silencer Central delivers directly to customers in 42 states where silencers are legal. The shipping process has revolutionized the way suppressors are sold and allows for customers to streamline their purchasing experience by cutting out unnecessary hurdles to silencer ownership.
