A Few Words from Our Clients

Amazing very welcoming place for first time shooters and experienced shooters! Ron did a private instruction with my husband and I and was AMAZING! Took his time to make sure we knew exactly what were were doing safely!! Highly recommend this range!!

Meegan Dee

Buck & Doe’s have the best instructors ever! My husband and I were licensed in another state, but needed to take the LTC class for our new Texas license. We took the LTC class in early March 2021. At first I thought 6hrs in a class would be boring and hard to stay interested. Nothing could be further from the truth with twin brothers, Ron & Don as instructors. After going through some basics, we completed the proficiency portion. This allowed us to relax and focus on the other important information needed to meet the Texas LTC requirements. Ron & Don kept the class entertaining, yet informative. We never noticed how long we had left or what time it was during the entire class. Happily, we passed and within a few weeks, received our LTC. I would definitely recommend these 2 fine gentlemen as instructors for your LTC or to learn how to safely and legally use a firearm.
We have become members and love it! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They’ve been helpful with recommendations for purchases and general information. Membership has its privileges, with discounts on classes and shopping. They have a great selection of merchandise and there’s always something new and interesting. So far, we’ve never had to wait to get on the range, which is awesome. We highly recommend Buck & Doe’s for classes, shopping and range time.

Veronica Broverman

Amazing front shop. Gun range and archery range as well. Always something new to buy here. Staff is friendly and welcoming!

Jameson Fulford

My family loves this place. It’s the kind of atmosphere where you want to learn everyone’s name because they’re so friendly and inviting. The range is clean, safe and fun. The boutique gives off that small town vibe with great products and prices. The lounge is clean and our little one loves hanging out there while my wife and I take turns shooting or shopping. They not only have everything you need for your shooting sports and archery practice needs, but the knowledge from the staff as well just confirms you’re making the right decision. Best range in San Antonio in my humble opinion.

Great experience shooting at Buck & Does.

This place is great for all types of shooters (new, experienced, and in …

Just completed a three hour firearms training class at Buck & Does. It was excellent. I learned a lot. The instructor, Jeremy, was very knowledgeable and made the class fun without it being intimidating. The facility is excellent.

I called these guys to look into some classes so I can raise my proficiency with my weapon. Ron was my instructor and he was amazing. He kept it light and fun but also kept it on point and to the topic. I was able to pick up what he was putting down and quite easily at that. For just $99, Ron made me much more confident in my ability to hit what I’m aiming at and ONLY what I’m aiming at. As a bonus, he even gave me some good “what ifs” to consider. If you go to him for the private instruction you can expect to get more than your money is worth. The range is the cleanest and most advanced I’ve been to. By the end of the day, I’d shot at multiple ranges and even multiple moving targets, which I didn’t even realize was possible. If you’re serious about being a responsible gun owner and a good ambassador for the 2nd amendment, I highly recommend going up there to talk to him because he will teach you the skills you need to defend your family safely should the worst case scenario ever come to your door. My favorite quote from Ron today, “don’t be a Richard Cranium!” I’ll be coming back soon for my LTC, you can bet on that. Total pro.

Randall Graham

Fantastic experience at Buck & Doe’s. Can’t say enough good things about the service we received while there! Ron was so helpful and did an absolutely amazing job with a firearms class for my daughter! She enjoyed it so much, she was sad to see her class end. We will definitely be back!

Micah Cannon

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.
