'Step Outside' Kicks Off Third Season On The Outdoor Channel





NEWTOWN, Conn.―The Outdoor Channel's "Step Outside" television program will kick off its third season this week with 13 new episodes tracking the adventures of newcomers to the outdoors.

Check local TV listings for air times.

Hosted by National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) president Doug Painter and three-time Olympic shooting medallist Kim Rhode, "Step Outside" takes viewers along as shooters, hunters, anglers and archers invite newcomers to the outdoors for the first time.

The show also features a weekly segment, Shooting Sports Minute, with "Gun Talk" radio's Tom Gresham.

An original TOC production, the series was inspired by NSSF's highly successful STEP OUTSIDE® program, which encourages outdoor enthusiasts to introduce family, friends and others to their outdoor pastimes. The show is produced by Mossy Oak Productions.

"Step Outside's third season promises to have a significant impact on our efforts to encourage existing sportsmen and sportswomen to ask friends, family members and neighbors to STEP OUTSIDE and enjoy all the positive qualities and experiences our outdoor heritage and traditions offer,” said Painter.

"The Outdoor Channel feels strongly about the importance of recruiting new participants into the fishing, hunting and shooting sports because these outdoorsmen have proven to be the strongest conservationists. STEP OUTSIDE® and Step Outside TV will encourage all of us to actively take our friends and neighbors outdoors with us. And, it will also be great TV," said Chris Chaffin, TOC vice president of public relations and conservation.

As of June 2006, The Outdoor Channel had 26.6 million cable and DBS subscribers, according to Nielsen Media Research, and was available to about 74.7 million households.

Since its inception, NSSF's STEP OUTSIDE program has helped introduce hundreds of thousands to target shooting, hunting, fishing and archery by encouraging outdoor enthusiasts to invite others to share in their outdoor experiences. The program has assisted state fish and wildlife agencies, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, hunting clubs and conservation organizations in providing first-time experiences for newcomers through grants, workshops and other sponsored events.
