A Few Words from Our First-Time Shooters

Amazing place. We were first time shooters from Canada and Mike was a amazing instructor. He gave us a run through and was very patient. Definitely recommended this place.

This was my first time at Buck and Does even though I pass by it quite frequently. I was impressed by their Facebook page so thought I’d check it out. It was even better than expected. A sweet gal Helene greeted me as I entered and asked what I needed. She helped me find everything (magazines and ammo) I was looking for and recommended some others I was still thinking about. Great prices too!! I will be back to shoot on the range and most likely purchase a membership. Call me impressed!!

It was my first time (as a European) on a shooting range. Needed help with everything as I didn’t know anything about firearms. The registration was very easy. Enter your own data on the tablet, enter your ID, and that’s it. Then which weapon to choose? Basically any weapon was allowed for me. The first time I shot was with a machine gun and then with a pistol. The employees on site were very patient with me and explained everything to me and then helped me at the shooting range for 5 minutes until I understood it. My wife was able to film and take photographs at any time. If you’re a non-American and want to shoot for the first time, you’re in good hands here. In the end we paid around $120, without a tip 😉

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!

We (me and my 9 y.o. son) had a great first time experience here. The staff was very kind, informative, and focused on our having a safe experience. Shout-out to Kali who walked us through the steps and encouraged us when we were feeling a bit nervous. Highly recommend this place. For the record, I am anti-gun. Had a good, friendly dialogue on the pro-gun position.

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!
