Buck & Doe’s Frequently Asked Questions

Can’t say enough about this place. Entire staff friendly and inviting. I’ve been shooting since a kid both for enjoyment/proficiency and work wise at one point in time. With that said, I still learn things every time I go I’ve never known from all of the staff as they come with their own backgrounds and specialties. Don’t be scared off if new to this world as very inviting and will never make you feel uncomfortable and bad for coming to learn. Both of my daughters greatly went from never shooting a long bow and arrow to 20 yard proficiency with proper instruction at their indoor archery range. It’s great being members on top of everything else as their showcase events they put on are fantastic with all the top vendors and high dollar giveaways. Membership also allows us access to the shooting/archery ranges whenever we like along with the members lounge. On top of everything I’ve listed and beyond (or this review will go on forever), first and foremost is safety. They make sure rules are followed for everyone’s sake so don’t hesitate on if any concern. Thanks for being the best in the area!

Came here with my girlfriend in Nov. 2024.
It was a great experience, easy, reasonably priced and beginner friendly.
I have a handful of past range trips, but it was my girlfriend’s first time shooting. Kali showed us around, walked us through the basics and went above and beyond throughout our time at Buck & Does.
Appreciate you Kali, thank you for the kindness you showed us.

I’ll first say that I have a previous relationship with Will, Rob and Corey. My loyalty to them is the only reason I would drive from almost in Castroville to B&D’s…even though I love the place. Will has worked on my bow and also built arrows for me a couple of times. He’s always great to work with. However, I went in last Saturday with a bit of an emergency and none of my guys were there. Instead, I worked with Jonathan. Jonathan listened to my needs, spent time getting my bow fixed and set back up the way I asked him to. He was professional, kind and efficient. Just another great bow technician at B&D’s trying to get me to keep making the long drive with great customer service and attention! I guess they all deserve a raise! But seriously, when your team goes above and beyond to give the highest level of customer service, and to build relationships with customers, that’s the key to continued success. If you have a great product, but treat your customers poorly, you’ll loose 10 out of 10 times! Treat them right, and you win, even if you occasionally drop the ball!

Great Job Archery Section and B&D’s!

Me and my friends are from Belgium and had never shot before in our lives. Ron explained everything really well, he showed us how to safely handle and shoot a gun. It was a pleasure talking with him about guns & other stuff.

I would definitely recommend B&Ds to everyone I know. And if possible, I’d come back myself some day to hopefully shoot with Ron again!

I had the awesome instructor Don who really helped me get over my fear of guns through the beginners course. The understanding and knowledge of holding a gun and loading it properly as well as practicing safety precautions truly helped me understand gun safety. Amazing instructor and an impressionable experience! Thank you!

Kari Grayson – Instructor: My wife and I met Kari for a private lesson and it was amazing. We had little to no experience, but Kari was patient and easy to follow. Her instructions were the best, and she made us feel safe and comfortable. Safety was stressed (which as it should be) and all the basic aspects covered. We truly appreciated her willingness to take the extra time we required and in providing constructive feedback on our progress. If you have interest in learning the basics or more advance aspects, she is definitely the go to person. Highly recommended!
