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

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!

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

Jameson Fulford

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!

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

I’ll first say that I have a previous relationship with Will, Rob and Corey. My loyalty to them is the only reason I would drive from almost in Castroville to B&D’s…even though I love the place. Will has worked on my bow and also built arrows for me a couple of times. He’s always great to work with. However, I went in last Saturday with a bit of an emergency and none of my guys were there. Instead, I worked with Jonathan. Jonathan listened to my needs, spent time getting my bow fixed and set back up the way I asked him to. He was professional, kind and efficient. Just another great bow technician at B&D’s trying to get me to keep making the long drive with great customer service and attention! I guess they all deserve a raise! But seriously, when your team goes above and beyond to give the highest level of customer service, and to build relationships with customers, that’s the key to continued success. If you have a great product, but treat your customers poorly, you’ll loose 10 out of 10 times! Treat them right, and you win, even if you occasionally drop the ball!

Great Job Archery Section and B&D’s!

CHRIS PHILLIPS

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.

The service is amazing! Will was extremely accommodating with me while servicing my bow! Would very highly recommend Bucks and Does for your archery needs!

Paul Simpson

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.
