Buck & Doe's Mercantile - San Antonio, Texas

Ich war zum ersten Mal (als Europäer) auf einer Shooting Range. Benötigte für alles Hilfe, da ich mich mit Schusswaffen überhaupt nicht auskannte.
Die Anmeldung lief sehr einfach ab. Am Tablet die eigene Daten eintippen, ID hinterlegen, das wars.
Dann welche Waffe auswählen? Im Grunde war jede Waffe für mich erlaubt.
Das erste Mal schießen war dann mit einem Maschinengewehr und dann mit einer Pistole.
Die Mitarbeiter vor Ort waren sehr geduldig mit mit mir und haben mir alles erklärt und am Schießstand dann auch noch 5min geholfen, bis ich es dann auch verstanden hatte. Filmen und Fotografieren war für meine Frau jederzeit möglich.
Wer als Nicht-Amerikaner zum ersten Mal schießen will, ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben.
Wir zahlten am Ende dann ca. 120$, ohne Tip 😉

Can’t say enough about this place. Entire staff friendly and inviting. I’ve been shooting since a kid both for enjoyment/proficiency and work wise at one point in time. With that said, I still learn things every time I go I’ve never known from all of the staff as they come with their own backgrounds and specialties. Don’t be scared off if new to this world as very inviting and will never make you feel uncomfortable and bad for coming to learn. Both of my daughters greatly went from never shooting a long bow and arrow to 20 yard proficiency with proper instruction at their indoor archery range. It’s great being members on top of everything else as their showcase events they put on are fantastic with all the top vendors and high dollar giveaways. Membership also allows us access to the shooting/archery ranges whenever we like along with the members lounge. On top of everything I’ve listed and beyond (or this review will go on forever), first and foremost is safety. They make sure rules are followed for everyone’s sake so don’t hesitate on if any concern. Thanks for being the best in the area!

We came in today for my daughter to practice archery. My cousin got to shoot a bow for the first time. Wow! So impressed with the facility and staff! Will and Attila are incredibly knowledgeable archers and if I lived closer I would take lessons from them. Great prices as well. Can’t wait to come back!

Every single time we come here, we are always met with exceptional service to include patience. I finally went shooting, and it was such a great experience. Although I live almost an hour out, I really enjoy coming here.

I'll first say that I have a previous relationship with Will, Rob and Corey. My loyalty to them is the only reason I would drive from almost in Castroville to B&D's...even though I love the place. Will has worked on my bow and also built arrows for me a couple of times. He's always great to work with. However, I went in last Saturday with a bit of an emergency and none of my guys were there. Instead, I worked with Jonathan. Jonathan listened to my needs, spent time getting my bow fixed and set back up the way I asked him to. He was professional, kind and efficient. Just another great bow technician at B&D's trying to get me to keep making the long drive with great customer service and attention! I guess they all deserve a raise! But seriously, when your team goes above and beyond to give the highest level of customer service, and to build relationships with customers, that's the key to continued success. If you have a great product, but treat your customers poorly, you'll loose 10 out of 10 times! Treat them right, and you win, even if you occasionally drop the ball!

Great Job Archery Section and B&D's!

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!

Signed up for a beginner archery class after plucking a few strings at a renaissance fair. Mr. Attila was a great instructor…I found recurve shooting fascinating. Went back same week to make my first ever bow purchase, unfortunately a bow to meet my needs wasn’t on the shelf. Luckily Mr. Attila found what I needed and called me back in same day to pick up what I needed to get started! The customer service here was incredible, from signing up for a class in person to purchasing and setting up a recurve. It really solidified that I wouldn’t need to shop anywhere else for my future archery needs! In addition, I’m looking forward to signing up for private instruction in the near future.

We did a bachelorette party here! Jon and Will hosted us for the beginner round and showed us the ropes. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend!!
