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

My daughter and 9 friends celebrated her 12th birthday at Buck and Doe’s this past weekend. The girls had an amazing time at the archery range. For most all of the group, it was their first time shooting with a bow and they were able to …

Lori Sear

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

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!

Carrie Spencer

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

Paul Weaver

My family loves this place. It’s the kind of atmosphere where you want to learn everyone’s name because they’re so friendly and inviting. The range is clean, safe and fun. The boutique gives off that small town vibe with great products and prices. The lounge is clean and our little one loves hanging out there while my wife and I take turns shooting or shopping. They not only have everything you need for your shooting sports and archery practice needs, but the knowledge from the staff as well just confirms you’re making the right decision. Best range in San Antonio in my humble opinion.

David Ramirez

Customer service is exceptional. Instructors for both firearms and archery are excellent. I drive 35+ minutes to come here because of the staff and the customer community they have created. Worth the drive.
