A Few Words from Our First-Time Shooters

This was my wife’s and myself s first time shooting a gun. The staff did a wonderful job of walking us through the safety features as well as instructing is on the process and procedures of shooting. Overall this was a excellent experience and would highly recommend Buck and Doe’s. We would go back there for sure

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!

Came here with my girlfriend in Nov. 2024. It was a great experience, easy, reasonably priced and beginner friendly. I have a handful of past range trips, but it was my girlfriend’s first time shooting. Kali showed us around, walked us through the basics and went above and beyond throughout our time at Buck & Does. Appreciate you Kali, thank you for the kindness you showed us.

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 😉

The range was neat and organized. All the customer service we received was great. There was an easy to use interface when signing the waiver form for first time users. I had brought a first time shooter with me and all staff and personnel …
