A Few Words from Our Clients

I almost took a star off for price but truth is, you get what you pay for. I’ve used them for ffls and nfa transfers, and i bought a membership and have used the range several times. Staff is super friendly.

I love this place. If you’re there to pick up new gear or just looking for some modern outdoor fashion, along with several of the other oddities you’ll find it right there in the merchantil. If archery happens to be one of your things they have a great selection of new Bows and all the required necessities as well the range behind the wall. Moving on over you’ll find your perfect fit in a pistol, long gun, or shotgun. Always have the ammo you need for your buys and even have a range the test out or just go in to have your Fun. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Buck & Does is a 10 out of 10… 5 ⭐ hands down.

My fiancé and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary by taking the beginner recurve class. Attila was our instructor and he did an amazing job. Instructions were clear and concise. Attila was able to explain the techniques in a way that made them easy to understand and he would watch our form for any adjustments that needed to be made. We are definitely addicted to shooting the bow and are already planning our second visit! Thanks Attila!

I called these guys to look into some classes so I can raise my proficiency with my weapon. Ron was my instructor and he was amazing. He kept it light and fun but also kept it on point and to the topic. I was able to pick up what he was putting down and quite easily at that. For just $99, Ron made me much more confident in my ability to hit what I’m aiming at and ONLY what I’m aiming at. As a bonus, he even gave me some good “what ifs” to consider. If you go to him for the private instruction you can expect to get more than your money is worth. The range is the cleanest and most advanced I’ve been to. By the end of the day, I’d shot at multiple ranges and even multiple moving targets, which I didn’t even realize was possible. If you’re serious about being a responsible gun owner and a good ambassador for the 2nd amendment, I highly recommend going up there to talk to him because he will teach you the skills you need to defend your family safely should the worst case scenario ever come to your door. My favorite quote from Ron today, “don’t be a Richard Cranium!” I’ll be coming back soon for my LTC, you can bet on that. Total pro.

Randall G.

Kali was an outstanding employee and really showed the amazing spirit the Buck and Doe’s has. Kali made the sign up process and choosing our fire arm really simple and entertaining. Definitely will be coming back!

I want to take the time to recognize RON, who works at Bucks and Does. I came there with my family and this gentlemen was flat out amazing. He helped us to zero a couple of A-R’s and perform some maintenance on a few handguns. Who does that? I mean I was going to try to figure this out from a YouTube video. Ron’s helpfulness, demeanor, knowledge, and patience is what every person needs when they go to a range or gun store. I haven’t zeroed a weapon in 30 years and I felt like I was back at basic training learning from a drill instructor who was a friend. I was considering going somewhere else to do my training and to get my LTC. Well that’s not happening. I will soon be taking the course online offered by Buc and Does since I’m not available on Saturdays. I will then be booking a session with Ron for the shooting portion of the test. That is what amazing customer service looks like. It will create its own business through satisfied customers. I have always said people don’t care how much you know until they KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE! Ron and the rest of the staff are the epitome of what excellence in the workplace is supposed to look like. Give this man a raise and give him some recognition. I encourage anyone that is considering checking out a gun range and all that comes with it to look no further than Buck and Doe’s Mercantile. Say hello to Ron and the guys when you are there, you won’t be disappointed!

Helene and Chaz were great helping me get what I needed. She always replied to my email and guided me through the process. I’ll be doing more business with Buck & Doe’s.

First of all the staff are all helpful knowledgeable and friendly.
Myself my wife and our friend all took the LTC class. Don Benton gave an Excellent class. He kept it lighthearted while still driving the most important points …

John S.

I took the competition pistol class with Jeremy and I highly recommend this class for anyone thinking of getting into competition or even if you already compete, Jeremy was friendly, knowledgeable and safe. He provided me with one on one instruction on everything from holding the pistol correctly and drawing faster to footwork and quicker follow up shots. I can honestly say I was shooting twice as good by the end of the class. Now I need to practice the homework he gave me and win some competitions! I will probably join the shooting league they have a Buck & Does to get some additional practice in. Thanks for making it fun and informative!

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.
