A Few Words from Our Clients

Let me start by saying that this place is very organized and clean. Have one of the most friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. Every staff member carry a firearm for safety purposes (not to show off) which that give me peace of mind and they’re well trained in case of any situation occurred. I mostly go to the Bow Range and there’s two amazing staff members (Can’t recall their names) that have so much knowledge and experience in hunting different types of games and will recommend the right accessories.

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 …

Decent selection of guns to choose from.

Staff are really professional and friendly. I took my siblings who were new to …

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.

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

The staff, is very friendly and helpful. The storefront and indoor range is very nice. The only downside is they don’t give military discounts and the range time is on the hour. ( it’s an hourly time ). Overall good experience, less than 5 minute drive from my house.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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!

The veteran staff here are exceptional in sharing their knowledge and experience. Everyone is helpful and friendly. Got my Staccato here and a Benchmade gold series knife 1/2 off. Glad to support local business!

Joseph Hernandez

My first visit to Buck & Does Mercantile was to complete my LTC-101 range proficiency. I found the instructor (Mr. Ron Benton) to be highly knowledgable, friendly, and professional. I definitely will be returning to Buck & Doe’s in the future for all of my firearm needs.
