Gunsmithing & Knife Sharpening

I attended a hand gun class this past Saturday at Buck and Does called Real World Proficiency, and the instructor was Jeremy Mancos. I would highly recommend this class along with Jeremy! We learned how to shoot at multiple targets, moving targets and everything in between. After just a couple of hours, I can say that I’m now better prepared, in case I find myself needing to defend myself. Thanks again.

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.

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!

It was my first time (as a European) on a shooting range. Needed help with everything as I didn’t know anything about firearms.
The registration was very easy. Enter your own data on the tablet, enter your ID, and that’s it.
Then which weapon to choose? Basically any weapon was allowed for me.
The first time I shot was with a machine gun and then with a pistol.
The employees on site were very patient with me and explained everything to me and then helped me at the shooting range for 5 minutes until I understood it. My wife was able to film and take photographs at any time.
If you’re a non-American and want to shoot for the first time, you’re in good hands here.
In the end we paid around $120, without a tip 😉

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.

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!
