A Few Words from Our Clients

Great place with great staff, very informative & everyone was friendly

I’ve been to three different ranges in San Antonio and this one is easily the best 10/10 will return soon !

Alex B Tiggs

An incredible place, super friendly, trained and attentive employees, clean and super comfortable place, they deserve 6 stars

Carlos Torres

Great place and even better people! B&D’s has fair prices, helpful staff, and solid selection! I purchased a family membership and am enjoying it immensely. I also took the Real World Proficiency class. Jeremy and Ron made it extremely informative, personalized and fun! I would highly recommend it to any shooter. It gave me new skills, as well as a lot to think about and work on with my technique. I plan to continue my firearms education with more B&D’s classes, in the near future.

Rob Adkins

A group of us ladies what shooting for our friends birthday. We had the best experience! Our instructor gave us detailed pointers and was very patient with us as some of us have never shot a firearm before. Highly recommend!

Helene and Chaz were great helping me get what I needed. She always replied to my email and guided me through the process. I’ll be doing more business with Buck & Doe’s.

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 August

This was my first time at Buck and Does even though I pass by it quite frequently. I was impressed by their Facebook page so thought I’d check it out. It was even better than expected. A sweet gal Helene greeted me as I entered and asked what I needed. She helped me find everything (magazines and ammo) I was looking for and recommended some others I was still thinking about. Great prices too!! I will be back to shoot on the range and most likely purchase a membership. Call me impressed!!

Mark Nye

Nice and clean. Range is a little short (15 yds) but perfectly adequate for most. Electronic target adjustment was nice. Fully stocked gun store with accessories. -1 star because everything was way overpriced but not being from there I don’t know what their competitive environment is. Did not get to see the archery side.

Daniel M

Excellent service, everything very clean, it really deserves 5 stars

Camilo Vasquez

This by far is the BEST gun store and outdoor place I have ever visited. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. I met the owners who were the most kindest, down to earth folks you could ever meet. All the employees were happy and great energy levels through out the store. Gun prices were right on along with ammo. Nothing but great things to say about this store and they have earned a customer for life. Thank you Buck and Does Mercantile for running such a great establishment!!!!!
