Bow Types

Buck & Doe’s Mercantile offers compound bows, recurve bows, and crossbows for hunting, target, or pleasure. There are several factors to consider, and the experts at Buck & Doe’s Mercantile can help you with every decision along the way. The bow that is the right choice for you will draw efficiently, operate smoothly, and be an extension of your body.

Our archery experts at our archery pro shop can assist you to:

  • Determine let-off – Let-off is the difference between the maximum weight required to pull the bow to full draw and how much weight you hold at full draw. This is an often-overlooked area that makes a difference in comfort and accuracy by being able to hold steady on a target.
  • Determine your dominant eye – should you be shooting left or right-handed?
  • Determine your draw length – Knowing your draw length will ultimately determine your match to a proper draw-length bow. Keep in mind that using a release aid can add ½ to 1 inch to your draw length.
  • Determine an anchor point that works for you. Consistency is the key to success.
  • Determine your draw weight – It’s important to pick a weight that you can draw comfortably under less-than-ideal conditions.

Just moved to town and only visited Buck & Doe’s for the the first time yesterday but thrilled to be 20 minutes away from a great indoor range, gun store, archery shop, and even knives and cigars all under one roof! Makes me feel like the beloved Toys R Us from my youth has returned in a new grownup-centric form!

Eric Hinrichsen

I bought private archery lessons for my family for Christmas, we had such a great time! Both Attila and Alena were great instructors who made us feel very comfortable and taught all of us how to properly use a recurve bow. If you are interested in Archery or just looking for a great place to practice, I highly reccomend Bucks and Does. We will definately be back again!

Nate Peters

Signed up for a beginner archery class after plucking a few strings at a renaissance fair. Mr. Attila was a great instructor…I found recurve shooting fascinating. Went back same week to make my first ever bow purchase, unfortunately a bow to meet my needs wasn’t on the shelf. Luckily Mr. Attila found what I needed and called me back in same day to pick up what I needed to get started! The customer service here was incredible, from signing up for a class in person to purchasing and setting up a recurve. It really solidified that I wouldn’t need to shop anywhere else for my future archery needs! In addition, I’m looking forward to signing up for private instruction in the near future.

Another great experience son had his first indoor archery competition. This place is awesome and their staff goes above and beyond. The staff are always involved and we’re helping new competitors understand how to properly score and ensure safety first.

Took an archery class with my 11 year old daughter and 8 year old son. It was an amazing time.

Paul Weaver

One of my new favorite places. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. I’ve dealt with archery on multiple occasions. Nick, Melissa and Bradley (I hope I got all the names right) all went above and beyond to insure I had a great experience. The girl at the register is friendly and sweet. I highly recommend doing business with Buck and Doe’s. Small local businesses are the way to go and they’re a testament to that.

Chris Jurica

Been a member for about 6 month. I mainly utilize the archery range, which is very clean and well maintained. The gun range is very clean and well maintained as well. Staff is amazing…very friendly and always willing to help anyway they can . The store front is clean and well stocked.

Blaine Jensen

Attended a date night event at Buck & Does and had a great time! The package came with time at both their archery and gun range, and afterwards they provided a range of cocktails and food for all participants. Brianna, the event organizer, was especially helpful when we had questions about signing up and made the experience really enjoyable. Will be back for sure, thank you Brianna for a new, fun outing that my husband and I can enjoy together!
