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. 

Try Before You Buy

We have a nice selection of compound bows, recurve bows, and crossbows from the world’s best manufacturers. The best part about Buck and Doe’s Mercantile when you’re shopping for a new bow is that you can try before you buy. For the kids, we carry several models designed for ages six and up and starter youth recurve bows, which can draw all the way down to 8 pounds. Our archery inventory also includes several models for women as well. No matter what your archery needs, we are here to help make your experience awesome.

A Few Words From Our Clients

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!

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

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

Sandra

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

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

Amazing front shop. Gun range and archery range as well. Always something new to buy here. Staff is friendly and welcoming!

Jameson Fulford

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.

Daniel M

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.

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

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
