Gunsmithing & Knife Sharpening

My husband and I spent a fair amount of time with Ron learning and getting comfortable with just handling a gun. I think we asked a million questions and he was patient, easy to talk to, very informative and unhurried. He gave me many pointers on how to aim and to avoid the stove pipe scenario that was happening frequently. Thanks so much, Ron!

Clean and safe. Had no problems with me bringing my machine guns. Very friendly staff. Neat boutique. Cool concept of a leather craftsman shop in the open. Not the cheapest place but it’s not designed to be. Use double ear pro though. Had guys shooting ar10 next to us and I went out to get foam plugs to go with my muffs.

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!

Buck and Does is a great for everything that you need.They also amazing people working there who will guide you in the right direction and give you what you need. The people who work there are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. But in an area with so many veterans Why do you not offer a discount to Veterans? I alone have cigars most Saturday mornings with 12 other veterans and we’ve talked about the lack of discount at buck and Does. We are more than willing to go further into San Antonio to get good discounts at other gun shops. Highly suggest you consider doing this.

Private 1:1 Shooting with Don…Amazing Experience!

I’ve shot a few times before at a range, but was interested in learning some of the basics, etc as I work towards a LTC. I scheduled a 1:1/hour session with Don, and wow did my shooting improve 100x in that short amount of time!

Atmosphere: Checkin and waivers were easy, and Antonetta(sp?) at the front was super hospitable.

We covered the basics of load/unload and I tested out a few guns. The clear steps on how to properly stand, hold the gun, and squeeze the trigger changed the game.

As a female, I’m learning for my safety and we went through scenarios and shooting that were “real-life” encounters. I appreciated the dynamic from a male point of view and made the questions, etc very relaxed.

Will definitely be back for my LTC and additional 1:1 classes. Highly recommend as I feel really confident going forward. Thanks y’all!

My son and I took a private gun lesson with Jeremy this weekend. He helped us fine tune our grip, stance and trigger pull just to name a few. Jeremy was professional yet personable. He is knowledgeable and easy to understand. Jeremy explained why we were hitting the target away from the intended spot then gave us easy instructions on what to do to correct the problem. Just a few minor adjustments made such a huge difference with our shooting in a short amount of time. The best take away point from our lesson with Jeremy was that you can’t correct what you don’t know. That is so true. Take a private lesson with Jeremy and see how quickly you will improve by understanding how you shoot and what you can do to be even better.
