A Few Words from Our Clients

I am so happy I found Buck and Doe’s. After a dog attack in my neighborhood, I decided it was time to get my license to carry. The process was so smooth. I took the online class through Buck and Doe’s and then signed up for the proficiency test at their facility. Being a new gun owner with little experience and up in age, I was a little nervous and intimidated to take the test. The instructor Ron Benton was so encouraging, kind, informative and made the test a pleasant experience.

Lisa H.

This was our first visit to you all business so, We took our son on a private lesson with Ron , wow he was awesome very informative on safety . That was my concern for my son first ever shooting a AR15, shot several rounds we where amazed on Ron’s teaching skill since he’s an veteran Army Ranger 👏.
I take my hat off , very communicative with staff , safe ,clean, organized. Our next visit will be with our daughter to take archery lessons.

Keep up the awesome job 👏
See you till then . Thanks again Ron..

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 A.

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

Paul W.

The service is amazing! Will was extremely accommodating with me while servicing my bow! Would very highly recommend Bucks and Does for your archery needs!

Paul S.

Customer service is exceptional. Instructors for both firearms and archery are excellent. I drive 35+ minutes to come here because of the staff and the customer community they have created. Worth the drive.

C. G.

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 N.

Okay if I could marry this place I would hahaha, Buck and does is my favorite place on earth! The staff is so friendly, very helpful and very caring for you as an individual.
I use the archery range a lot and it is the best indoor archery range I’ve ever been too, I’d say it’s the best in San Antonio by far!
I also use the gun range and it is very comfortable to shoot in the gun range and ammo is very affordable.
The facility itself is very very clean!! Bathrooms and all!
They have everything for archery and guns! Any kind of accessory you can think of they got it! Buying a gun is a nice and easy process with them as well.

Their education classes are ran very well and professional for LTC or intro to pistol etc…

I highly recommend Buck and does as it has become my second home!!

Logan P.

The customer service here is phenomenal! Definitely family friendly. Our family really enjoyed our time here down to our 2 year old. Everyone was so helpful & knowledgeable. Roman really helped my husband out with his first gun purchase. …

Daniela R.

My first visit to Buck & Does Mercantile was to complete my LTC-101 range proficiency. I found the instructor (Mr. Ron Benton) to be highly knowledgable, friendly, and professional. I definitely will be returning to Buck & Doe’s in the future for all of my firearm needs.
