A Few Words from Our Clients

My first visit to Buck & Does Mercantile was to complete my LTC-101 range proficiency. I found the instructor (Mr. Ron Benton) to be highly knowledgable, friendly, and professional. I definitely will be returning to Buck & Doe’s in the future for all of my firearm needs.

Scott Quint

Joined their membership. Very happy with everyone that works there and just had a pistol I bought shipped to the location. Very satisfied with this place. Only thing I wish was that the range was longer than it is.

Mark

A group of us ladies what shooting for our friends birthday. We had the best experience! Our instructor gave us detailed pointers and was very patient with us as some of us have never shot a firearm before. Highly recommend!

Sierra E

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 Graham

This is by far the best indoor range in San Antonio. The staff is fantastic (Cory and team), they have food, clothes, bows, gins and fun.

What are you waiting for!!

Nathan Kenyon

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 😉

Martin

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.

Greg Mills

This place is a home away from home. I always have a positive experience every time I come through here. The folks that work and run this shop are top notch! Shout out to Bobby, Kelle, and Don, for their expertise and customer service. I also asked if they carried 30-06 specific for M1 Garands, which they didn’t at the time. Low and behold a few days later there it was on the shelf! Plus their events are a blast. The wife and I just came out for their Date night. Highly recommend!

Scott Robinson

State of the art facilities, lots of lanes, friendly staff. Lots to do here.
Update: I was accidentally overcharged and the management called me and made it right. My family and I will be back.

Kevin Jackson

While packing my rifle for a trip to Africa I noticed that the safety was inoperable. I took it to Buck and Does just days before leaving. The outstanding performance of manager Roman and the gunsmith repaired my rifle and returned it to me in record time allowing me to take it with me. Their customer service is outstanding!
