Dealer Spotlight: Thornton Hunting & Outdoors

Where Hunting Passion Meets Family Values

In the world of firearms and hunting, trust matters. And when it comes to trusted dealers, Thornton Hunting & Outdoors stands tall — not just for the quality gear they offer, but for the people behind the counter.

Based in regional NSW, Thornton Hunting & Outdoors has earned a loyal following thanks to their honest advice, hands-on knowledge, and commitment to great customer service. Earlier this year, they took a big step forward — moving into a larger store in the same area to better serve their growing customer base. The new space is bigger, better, and stocked with even more of what Aussie shooters are looking for — but the heart of the business remains unchanged.

At the core of Thornton Hunting & Outdoors are Mel, Matt, and their team, a family of passionate hunters who live and breathe the lifestyle. They’ve built the business on the values they share with their kids:
✔️ Hard work
✔️ Pride in what you do
✔️ Treating customers like family

Whether you're walking in for your first rifle, or looking for expert advice before your next hunt, Thornton’s team is there to help — and they genuinely care about getting you the right setup.

🎯 More Than Just a Gun Shop

What truly sets Thornton Hunting & Outdoors apart is their commitment to education. They don’t just sell gear — they teach the next generation of hunters how to use it safely and effectively. Through a range of firearms and hunting courses, they provide real-world, practical training that gives their customers confidence and capability in the bush.

Their courses include:
🔸 Firearms safety & handling
🔸 Field-based hunting education
🔸 Ethical shooting & practical tips from experienced hunters

This hands-on approach is part of what makes them a standout in the industry.
