A Few Words from Our Clients

I almost took a star off for price but truth is, you get what you pay for. I’ve used them for ffls and nfa transfers, and i bought a membership and have used the range several times. Staff is super friendly.

Richard Green

Great place for shooters of all levels. The team here is very welcoming, super hospitable, and willing to educate people wanting to learn. Love you guys.. and gals!!#AGAG

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.

Edward Cruz

My husband and I spent a fair amount of time with Ron learning and getting comfortable with just handling a gun. I think we asked a million questions and he was patient, easy to talk to, very informative and unhurried. He gave me many pointers on how to aim and to avoid the stove pipe scenario that was happening frequently. Thanks so much, Ron!

Debra Crowther

A welcoming and friendly community of shooters. Everyone is helpful and friendly.

Grady Trew (RandomG)

Really excellent experience. Went for LTC hands on test. Ron was the instructor. Very friendly and helpful. After the test we told eachother war stories for a little while. Enjoyed that a lot. It was like talking to an old friend.
Did some shopping and everyone behind the counter was exceptionally friendly and helpful with lots of information and advice on products. Same experience with the girls at checkout. No doubt I will be back soon.

James Lillard

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.

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.
