Our productsOUR STORY
Over 19 years ago, the Kirley family opened Mansfield's first dedicated hunting store, Mansfield Hunting and Fishing. Shane and Mandy’s children were shooting competitively at the time, and the family saw an opportunity to open a store.
A few years down the track the business expanded. Mandy & Shane took the opportunity to add fishing and camping to the store.
Nick, Shane & Mandys son, has been a part of the firearms industry for a long time, starting out as a firearm sales rep with one of our major suppliers then jumping back in store as the business began to grow. Nick brings a wealth of knowledge across the board and swapped out clay target shooting for deer hunting. A passion he pursues every weekend.
Mansfield Hunting and Fishing is located in the heart of the High Country surrounded by some of the best deer hunting areas, pristine lakes and rivers.
