A Few Words from Our Clients

Fantastic place to shoot firearms in San Antonio TX. The staff is genuinely eager to answer questions and make sure you feel comfortable whether you are a beginner or an expert.

Marc Hernandez

Great range. It was super easy to sign the waiver and get straight to shooting. Has a great selection of weapons and will definitely use this store as my FFL and new range.

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!

For my Christmas present my boyfriend bought me my first firearm. We were visiting San Antonio at the time and came to Buck and Doe’s. Being the firearm aficionado that he is he immediately put a red dot (purchased elsewhere) on it however it caused the gun to jam. So we went back the next day to test out loosening the optic and try it without. Worked perfectly. Mike was helping us every step of the way. Great man! Very patient considering this is my first firearm. The entire staff was fantastic!! Very knowledgeable and informative. Not only about my firearm but anything we wanted to look at. Definitely look forward to coming back and chatting with Mike for many years to come!!

I took the Level 2 Women Only Pistol class taught by Gretchen Benne. Gretchen is a fantastic and patient teacher. She makes you feel at ease learning the proper gun safety and drills. It was so much fun. I highly recommend any class that Gretchen teaches.

I had also signed up for B&D Pistol League after taking the Level 1 course from Gretchen earlier in Feb. The drills taught in Level 2 increased my performance and accuracy in the next session of the Pistol League.

I came in with my husband to shoot pistols on the range. Ron was absolutely wonderful. I had a lot of questions since I’ve never handled a firearm before. Ron talked me through all the steps and safety rules and instructed me in a way that …
