Gunsmithing & Knife Sharpening

I took a private lesson with Ron, and he was so patient, encouraging, and informative. He stressed safety throughout and ensured I felt comfortable, building my confidence and tailoring the lesson to my pace. He welcomed any questions; offered thorough, solid instruction; exuded professionalism; and made me laugh quite a bit, too. Thank you for a great lesson!

My son and I visited Buck & Does 0n July 30th and had a fantastic time. The exterior of the facility was clean and inviting. with plenty of parking. Upon entering we were greeted and directed to the proper desk for range access. The employee who inspected our firearms and ammo was extremely friendly and professional, He explained the rules of the range and directed us to the lane we would be using. Seeing we had brought in more firearms than we could easily lug to the range he provided us a rolling cart, helped load and escorted us to the lanes.

The indoor range is second to none.It was in showroom condition.Usually when we go to other ranges the brass is everywhere presenting a trip / slip hazard but not here. The range condition was very clean and well managed for safety. The shooters `bench / stations we very clean as well no old shot up targets or debris to deal with. The shooter has control of the lighting and target distance in each lane. I did not see any damaged equipment of lane that could not be used.

Restrooms were also well maintained.

We had a great afternoon at Buck & Does .We appreciated being greeted and serviced by friendly professional employees who truly understand customer service. If you have young ones and want a safe family oriented range to train on I would highly recommend Buck & Does.

This place deserves 5 stars because of Don. Don is an amazing instructor. I signed up for a private lesson and Don was patient, informative, knowledgeable and provided excellent training. I highly highly highly recommend him. He also took his time and didn’t rush the lesson which I appreciated. Sometimes instructors only give you an hour and don’t explain important facts. I will say trying to schedule the private lesson was a nightmare, I had to call several times and I had a specific instructor in mind at first but in the end I just said can you book me a private lesson at 10:30 and then I showed up. That seemed to be most efficient and work out best. I will def. go back and take the HCL course here. I am very happy that I chose Buck & Doe’s and that Don is a great employee!

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.

Took my 15yr old for private instruction as a 1st time shooter with pistols (9mm Sig and .45 S/W. Ret Army Ranger, Ron Benton was his instructor. Without a doubt one of the best times we have ever had! Ron went over safety, sight alignment, stances, trigger squeeze, malfunctions and clearing. We had multiple drills, low light firing and moving targets. All with constructive feedback on how to improve with each iteration. Could not ask for a better 1st day. We will be back and my son and I have something fun to do together. The prices were very reasonable. Thank you to Ron and Buck and Doe’s for a great outing!

This place is a home away from home. I always have a positive experience every time I come through here. The folks that work and run this shop are top notch! Shout out to Bobby, Kelle, and Don, for their expertise and customer service. I also asked if they carried 30-06 specific for M1 Garands, which they didn’t at the time. Low and behold a few days later there it was on the shelf! Plus their events are a blast. The wife and I just came out for their Date night. Highly recommend!

Can’t say enough about this place. Entire staff friendly and inviting. I’ve been shooting since a kid both for enjoyment/proficiency and work wise at one point in time. With that said, I still learn things every time I go I’ve never known from all of the staff as they come with their own backgrounds and specialties. Don’t be scared off if new to this world as very inviting and will never make you feel uncomfortable and bad for coming to learn. Both of my daughters greatly went from never shooting a long bow and arrow to 20 yard proficiency with proper instruction at their indoor archery range. It’s great being members on top of everything else as their showcase events they put on are fantastic with all the top vendors and high dollar giveaways. Membership also allows us access to the shooting/archery ranges whenever we like along with the members lounge. On top of everything I’ve listed and beyond (or this review will go on forever), first and foremost is safety. They make sure rules are followed for everyone’s sake so don’t hesitate on if any concern. Thanks for being the best in the area!
