A Few Words from our Clients

Private 1:1 Shooting with Don…Amazing Experience!

I’ve shot a few times before at a range, but was interested in learning some of the basics, etc as I work towards a LTC. I scheduled a 1:1/hour session with Don, and wow did my shooting improve 100x in that short amount of time!

Atmosphere: Checkin and waivers were easy, and Antonetta(sp?) at the front was super hospitable.

We covered the basics of load/unload and I tested out a few guns. The clear steps on how to properly stand, hold the gun, and squeeze the trigger changed the game.

As a female, I’m learning for my safety and we went through scenarios and shooting that were “real-life” encounters. I appreciated the dynamic from a male point of view and made the questions, etc very relaxed.

Will definitely be back for my LTC and additional 1:1 classes. Highly recommend as I feel really confident going forward. Thanks y’all!

Ron Benton was the instructor for my LTC course, and he was fantastic. Had an awesome experience completing my certification. Every single person I interacted with here was great. They treat you right and all have a great attitude. Unlike some other ranges, you feel like these guys and gals actually want to be there!

Gabriel Gonzales

I took the competition pistol class with Jeremy and I highly recommend this class for anyone thinking of getting into competition or even if you already compete, Jeremy was friendly, knowledgeable and safe. He provided me with one on one instruction on everything from holding the pistol correctly and drawing faster to footwork and quicker follow up shots. I can honestly say I was shooting twice as good by the end of the class. Now I need to practice the homework he gave me and win some competitions! I will probably join the shooting league they have a Buck & Does to get some additional practice in. Thanks for making it fun and informative!

tanya sherrill

Very friendly staff, never rush, always take time to answer questions. The place is very clean and well stocked.

Wrote my original review more than a year back.

Have been a member for a little longer than that. Have enjoyed every visit to buck and does. Staff still very friendly, and I mean each and every one of them. The place is still maintained very well. It gives really good old school Texas vibes. Events that they organize are fun to attend and the instructions in their classes are fantastic.

Worth being a member and part of the buck and doe’s community !

Kapil Kirpekar

Ron was our instructor today at the LTC CLASS. Ron and his twin brother Don are extremely knowledgeable and professional and a lot of fun too! I highly recommend them and this class and Buck and Does!
Thanks Ron for being an incredible instructor! Where do we buy the trunk money?

jan johnson

State of the art facilities, lots of lanes, friendly staff. Lots to do here.
Update: I was accidentally overcharged and the management called me and made it right. My family and I will be back.

Kevin Jackson

Awesome experience. Would highly recommend the AR15 class. Ron Benton was very personable and attentive instructor. He ran a safe range and was very intuitive to what I needed to be successful.

Howard Hughes

My husband and I always enjoy our time at the range, thanks to the friendly and attentive staff. I particularly recommend their private lessons. A special shout-out to Helene for her exceptional guidance. Her patience, helpfulness, and …

Fernanda Marina

One of my new favorite places. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. I’ve dealt with archery on multiple occasions. Nick, Melissa and Bradley (I hope I got all the names right) all went above and beyond to insure I had a great experience. The girl at the register is friendly and sweet. I highly recommend doing business with Buck and Doe’s. Small local businesses are the way to go and they’re a testament to that.

Chris Jurica

Ron and Don are amazing! I went in to purchase my first firearm and was nervous but they both showed me a selection of Glocks I was interested in buying. I was given a flyer on the membership prices so I could get the most discounts I was asking about before I decided to make a purchase. Ron worked with me for over a hour, rented me a Glock 19, got me range ammo, hearing & eye protection, and a target. He walked me thru how to take apart the firearm, handling it, loading/unloading, and more tips/tricks before I even got into the range. I felt completely comfortable having him assist me. The first time I shot I scored a 246/250 all because of the tips and ticks he recommend. He mentioned I do some research online and a few days later I came back and purchased a new Glock 45. Today, 06/06/2020 I completed the Texas License to Carry course and had Ron as my instructor. He was very informative and explained all the information perfectly. If it was not for Ron and Don I would probably never came back to Buck and Does. These two brothers are who I ask for anytime I have any questions or need assistance. Thank you both for everything!
