A Few Words from Our Clients

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 L.

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

We love our archery class at Buck and Doe’s!

Sandra

I have never shot before and wanted to learn how to use the gun my husband purchased for me. I set up a private lesson to learn as much as I could about my gun. Ron did my lesson and he was absolutely wonderful. He was so patient and helped me to properly hold, load, unload, and shoot under many circumstances. I felt so comfortable and learned so much. If you have never shot before and want to learn, this is the place you want to go ladies! Thank you Ron for making me feel comfortable in case of an emergency.

Just completed a three hour firearms training class at Buck & Does. It was excellent. I learned a lot. The instructor, Jeremy, was very knowledgeable and made the class fun without it being intimidating. The facility is excellent.

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 G.

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 …

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!!

Jennifer L.

Buck and Does is where it’s at. Not only are their employees helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly, but their firearm selection is vast and well priced. They have great membership rates and a couple cool perks that come with that as well. …

Andrew K.

They are family. Very lovely people, helpful and knowledge. I absolutely love this place. If you’re a beginner they don’t make you feel useless. They thought me well and I appreciate their friendship.
