A Few Words from Our Clients

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

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 Huang Lundgren

Took an archery class with my 11 year old daughter and 8 year old son. It was an amazing time.

Paul Weaver

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 Lemes

Attended a date night event at Buck & Does and had a great time! The package came with time at both their archery and gun range, and afterwards they provided a range of cocktails and food for all participants. Brianna, the event organizer, was especially helpful when we had questions about signing up and made the experience really enjoyable. Will be back for sure, thank you Brianna for a new, fun outing that my husband and I can enjoy together!

Linda Figueroa

I attended an LTC class and Buck and Doe’s and was fortunate to get to work with Ron Benton. He did a great job making me comfortable and at the same time, he made sure I knew everything I needed to know about being safe and prepared when carrying my firearm. He did a great job. The crew and Buck and Doe’s always treats me well and is helpful. Thank you.

My husband and I always enjoy our time at the range, thanks to the friendly and attentive staff. I particularly recommend their private lessons. A special shout-out to Helene for her exceptional guidance. Her patience, helpfulness, and …

Fernanda Marina

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!

Mark Francis

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.
