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.

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

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

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.

C. Guevara

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

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

Paul Simpson

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..

Carlos Gutierrez

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!
