A Few Words from Our Clients

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!

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.

Jean Huang Lundgren

My son and I visited Buck & Does 0n July 30th and had a fantastic time. The exterior of the facility was clean and inviting. with plenty of parking. Upon entering we were greeted and directed to the proper desk for range access. The employee who inspected our firearms and ammo was extremely friendly and professional, He explained the rules of the range and directed us to the lane we would be using. Seeing we had brought in more firearms than we could easily lug to the range he provided us a rolling cart, helped load and escorted us to the lanes.

The indoor range is second to none.It was in showroom condition.Usually when we go to other ranges the brass is everywhere presenting a trip / slip hazard but not here. The range condition was very clean and well managed for safety. The shooters `bench / stations we very clean as well no old shot up targets or debris to deal with. The shooter has control of the lighting and target distance in each lane. I did not see any damaged equipment of lane that could not be used.

Restrooms were also well maintained.

We had a great afternoon at Buck & Does .We appreciated being greeted and serviced by friendly professional employees who truly understand customer service. If you have young ones and want a safe family oriented range to train on I would highly recommend Buck & Does.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exceptional businesses aren’t just defined by what they sell, but by how they treat people—and Buck & Doe’s Mercantile sets the gold standard. Every experience I’ve had with them has been incredible, from their communication and policies to their prices, advice, and overall customer service.

Unlike many other gun shops where the atmosphere can feel unwelcoming, Buck & Doe’s treats you like family. Every visit, I’m met with respect, professionalism, and a genuine willingness to help—whether it’s through education, expert advice, or just taking the time to have a real conversation.

Their gun store, range, and everything else they offer are top-notch, but the people who work there are what truly make this place special. If you’re looking for a gun store and range that values its customers and operates with integrity, this is the place to go! Highly recommend.

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.

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 …
