A Few Words from Our First-Time Shooters

The range was neat and organized. All the customer service we received was great. There was an easy to use interface when signing the waiver form for first time users. I had brought a first time shooter with me and all staff and personnel …

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!!

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.

My son (10 year old) and I just had a wonderful total experience, and excellent private instruction with Ron Benton. I am so thankful for Ron’s thoughtful and caring demeanor. I would highly recommend anyone with experience, or first time shooters to spend time and learn from Ron. I am so thankful for a man like him in our community.

Dont DoItAgain

Ron and Don are amazing! I went in to purchase my first firearm and was nervous but they both showed me a selection of Glocks I was interested in buying. I was given a flyer on the membership prices so I could get the most discounts I was asking about before I decided to make a purchase. Ron worked with me for over a hour, rented me a Glock 19, got me range ammo, hearing & eye protection, and a target. He walked me thru how to take apart the firearm, handling it, loading/unloading, and more tips/tricks before I even got into the range. I felt completely comfortable having him assist me. The first time I shot I scored a 246/250 all because of the tips and ticks he recommend. He mentioned I do some research online and a few days later I came back and purchased a new Glock 45. Today, 06/06/2020 I completed the Texas License to Carry course and had Ron as my instructor. He was very informative and explained all the information perfectly. If it was not for Ron and Don I would probably never came back to Buck and Does. These two brothers are who I ask for anytime I have any questions or need assistance. Thank you both for everything!
