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.

A Few Words From Our Clients

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.

Very good service and they are very friendly, you can find anything related to weapons or archery. They provide you with all the necessary information so that you can use their facilities to shoot. It is a good experience to release adrenaline

Okay if I could marry this place I would hahaha, Buck and does is my favorite place on earth! The staff is so friendly, very helpful and very caring for you as an individual. I use the archery range a lot and it is the best indoor archery range I’ve ever been too, I’d say it’s the best in San Antonio by far! I also use the gun range and it is very comfortable to shoot in the gun range and ammo is very affordable. The facility itself is very very clean!! Bathrooms and all! They have everything for archery and guns! Any kind of accessory you can think of they got it! Buying a gun is a nice and easy process with them as well. Their education classes are ran very well and professional for LTC or intro to pistol etc… I highly recommend Buck and does as it has become my second home!!

Logan Phillips

Nice and clean. Range is a little short (15 yds) but perfectly adequate for most. Electronic target adjustment was nice. Fully stocked gun store with accessories. -1 star because everything was way overpriced but not being from there I don’t know what their competitive environment is. Did not get to see the archery side.

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

Paul Weaver

Paul Simpson

We love our archery class at Buck and Doe’s!

Sandra

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!

Linda Figueroa

We came in today for my daughter to practice archery. My cousin got to shoot a bow for the first time. Wow! So impressed with the facility and staff! Will and Attila are incredibly knowledgeable archers and if I lived closer I would take lessons from them. Great prices as well. Can’t wait to come back!

Gwen B

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!
