A Few Words from Our Clients

Had a great experience here getting my bow set up. They spent extra time and effort to get everything just right and they were very respectful and considerate. They went above and beyond and I will definitely bring my family back here

rhin0chaser

Great atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. So much to pick from such as lots of weaponry, accessories, to even clothing and home furnishings. Anyone should feel welcome here. Today I put one of my rifles on consignment and we agreed on a price I’m happy with. Hopefully it sells soon, and I will definitely be a repeat customer. Bradley I believe was the guy who helped me. Great experience.

Steven Anthony

I’m someone who always returns to a place after receiving excellent and satisfying customer service. In short, I was in the market for a new pistol, and Mr. Bob William went above and beyond to assist me by describing each product and its pros and cons. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was impressed by his knowledge.

Henrique Lemes

This was our first time here with my family at the Gun Range and Ron really went above and beyond to teach us about Gun safety and operation. My 9 year old was pretty scared in the beginning but by the end she was very comfortable using the gun safely in the range. I would go back just so the kids can learn more from Ron. Great experience!

Ranjeet Gadhoke

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

I had a 60 minutes one-on-one training with Don. He is an amazing instructor. I am so glad I had the training and learned things that are very important for own safety and other’s. Highly recommended! In general, staff is great, professional, and friendly.

naveed khokhar

We just signed up for a one-year family membership yesterday as we love the ranges and customer service. The people here are knowledgeable and helpful. Corey is awesome. 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!

Dr. Marc Melkie

To celebrate our first wedding anniversary we decided to go to the range. This was practically our first time shooting/handling a gun and Mike made our experience great! He helped us check in and pick the guns to rent and provided safety and reloading demo. He is kind, and very knowledgeable and patient when we were picking his brain with questions. We were able to rent the guns they had, buy the ammo, and get different targets! Definitely will be back!

Anna Grun

Jonathon and Will were very helpful and fun. Our group had a great time and learned a lot as well! Highly recommend going with a group of friends. Thanks again!
