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

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!

This was our first visit to you all business so, We took our son on a private lesson with Ron , wow he was awesome very informative on safety . That was my concern for my son first ever shooting a AR15, shot several rounds we where amazed on Ron’s teaching skill since he’s an veteran Army Ranger 👏. I take my hat off , very communicative with staff , safe ,clean, organized. Our next visit will be with our daughter to take archery lessons. Keep up the awesome job 👏 See you till then . Thanks again Ron..

I love this place. If you’re there to pick up new gear or just looking for some modern outdoor fashion, along with several of the other oddities you’ll find it right there in the merchantil. If archery happens to be one of your things they have a great selection of new Bows and all the required necessities as well the range behind the wall. Moving on over you’ll find your perfect fit in a pistol, long gun, or shotgun. Always have the ammo you need for your buys and even have a range the test out or just go in to have your Fun. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Buck & Does is a 10 out of 10… 5 ⭐ hands down.

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

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!

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

Guillermo OA

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

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!
