A Few Words from Our Clients

I’m someone who always returns to a place after receiving excellent and satisfying customer service. In short, I was in the market for a new pistol, and Mr. Bob William went above and beyond to assist me by describing each product and its pros and cons. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was impressed by his knowledge.

Henrique Lemes

I attended the first shots class with Chris Elliott and was very impressed by his experience, knowledge and expertise of the subject as presented. I knew I wanted to learn more; therefore, I also signed up for a private session with Don Benton. Don also extremely experienced and his expertise made me feel very comfortable and helped me gain a level of confidence by his training me on a personal level as to every aspect of what to expect with owning and using a weapon. The professionalism of Chris and Don is unequivocal and garners my recommendation to anyone interested in the classes offered by Buck & Doe’s. The Mercantile at this places is also a bonus!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Wendy Thomas

My daughter and 9 friends celebrated her 12th birthday at Buck and Doe’s this past weekend. The girls had an amazing time at the archery range. For most all of the group, it was their first time shooting with a bow and they were able to …

Lori Sear

Me and my friends are from Belgium and had never shot before in our lives. Ron explained everything really well, he showed us how to safely handle and shoot a gun. It was a pleasure talking with him about guns & other stuff.

I would definitely recommend B&Ds to everyone I know. And if possible, I’d come back myself some day to hopefully shoot with Ron again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

Military Metal Art Inc

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.

P.J. Diaz

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!

Ernie Welker

My daughter had a lesson with Ron last week. We had been to the range before for practice, but having a lesson with Ron far surpassed our expectations. He was engaged, patient, and made the entire hour super fun for her, challenging her in creative ways we never thought of. Worth every penny!

Tiffany Rea
