A Few Words from Our Clients

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!

Dr. Marc Melkie

I have never shot before and wanted to learn how to use the gun my husband purchased for me. I set up a private lesson to learn as much as I could about my gun. Ron did my lesson and he was absolutely wonderful. He was so patient and helped me to properly hold, load, unload, and shoot under many circumstances. I felt so comfortable and learned so much. If you have never shot before and want to learn, this is the place you want to go ladies! Thank you Ron for making me feel comfortable in case of an emergency.

Got a membership here recently and have been going a few times a week since then. The employees are very nice and welcoming to people all of experience levels. They have a great inventory and are fair on prices. Range is clean, well ventilated, and everything is well maintained. As far as safety they do a great job of keeping an eye on all of the lanes at all times, but also give you room to breathe unlike some places. Highly recommend them and will continue to train here as long as i’m in town!

I usually don’t give out 5 stars because nothing and no one is perfect. However every time I have been to Buck and Does has been exceptional from the products they sell to the welcome I received when I walked through the door. …

Terry Buford

I took the Level 2 Women Only Pistol class taught by Gretchen Benne. Gretchen is a fantastic and patient teacher. She makes you feel at ease learning the proper gun safety and drills. It was so much fun. I highly recommend any class that Gretchen teaches.

I had also signed up for B&D Pistol League after taking the Level 1 course from Gretchen earlier in Feb. The drills taught in Level 2 increased my performance and accuracy in the next session of the Pistol League.

Lucy Dio

Great experience. Never been to a range before. Always shot outdoors. This was the closest one. Filled out waiver online, went right in. Staff was friendly and answered all my questions. Nice selection of targets. One’s included, a buck …

Nallon

I attended an LTC class and Buck and Doe’s and was fortunate to get to work with Ron Benton. He did a great job making me comfortable and at the same time, he made sure I knew everything I needed to know about being safe and prepared when carrying my firearm. He did a great job. The crew and Buck and Doe’s always treats me well and is helpful. Thank you.

Aaron Rangel

It’s been too long since we practiced. It was great to shoot again. They have excellent employees. Jenn helped us with some ideas for new guns.

Donald Vormelker

Amazing very welcoming place for first time shooters and experienced shooters! Ron did a private instruction with my husband and I and was AMAZING! Took his time to make sure we knew exactly what were were doing safely!! Highly recommend this range!!

Meegan Dee

What an absolutely fantastic place! Clean and well organized. The staff was friendly and helpful. My range instructor Mr. Ron Benton was the best! Very knowledgeable and a great teacher. He sure knows his stuff! Will definitely be going back to the range at Buck & Doe’s!
