A Few Words from Our Clients

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!

Vincent P.

Ron Benton was the instructor for my LTC course, and he was fantastic. Had an awesome experience completing my certification. Every single person I interacted with here was great. They treat you right and all have a great attitude. Unlike some other ranges, you feel like these guys and gals actually want to be there!

Gabriel G.

Had a great experience here getting my bow set up. They spent extra time and effort to get everything just right and they were very respectful and considerate. They went above and beyond and I will definitely bring my family back here

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!

Johnny A.

I took the beginner’s course on 08/04/2023. The instructor, Ron, was very informative, funny, and direct. He let us get comfortable with a 22 handgun in the classroom before taking us to the range. We could only shoot ten rounds, which I felt was not enough to get comfortable shooting on my own. The staff are helpful, the indoor range is excellent, and the store has something for everyone.

Angie R.

My husband and I highly recommend Buc and Does due to their great customer service, guidance, and expertise of the staff members. In particular, I would love to give a shout out to Bob Williams, who helped mentor my husband and myself while practicing at the shooting range, as well as answering all of our questions regarding our latest fire arm purchase from here. It’s clear to me that the owner, Rex, and his team, truly care about their customers and overall experience. We look forward to continuing to come here to “perfect our practice” as Bob says, and would recommend this place to our family and friends. Thank you, and we will definitely be back as regular’s!

Cathleen L.

Attended Date Night event on 10/28 with my husband. We had the absolute best time at the gun range! Don and Ron provided top notch instruction, encouragement, and created a safe environment for all. Cindy, our event host, went above and …

Tacarra G.

Amazing place. We were first time shooters from Canada and Mike was a amazing instructor. He gave us a run through and was very patient. Definitely recommended this place.

NJ S.

Our first time shooting, and it was a Blast! Very clean store and friendly staff.

TRAVIS D.

Very nice indoor shooting facility. Limited to 15 yards, but this is plenty good for an indoor range. Friendly staff. Good hours of operation. I brought a new shooter to the range on my first visit and it was an excellent experience. The only thing that I am disappointed about is that steel cased ammo isn’t allowed. I really wish that I could shoot Kalashnikovs at their range, but I am not going to buy brass ammo just to shoot indoors. B&D is generous by not having a time limit on their range. Great place to shoot.
