beginner shooter Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 So at the match today I was told thank you for helping set the match up early in the morning (set up an entire stage myself!). Then at the end of the day me and about 5 other shooters (the only ones left at the range) tore everything down. The match director shook my hand and said thank you as did a couple of the other shooters that were still there. I dont know about you but a good heart felt thanks means a lot to me and makes me feel good. Its the little things I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Miles Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 An honest and sincere "thank you" is so very easy to say and goes a long way. I learned that a long time ago. The reason for it does not have to be a large effort on the part of somebody else. CYa, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 A well-placed "Thank you!" can really make your day. (Or you can make someone ELSE'S day by placing one on THEM.) "Thank you" has a lot of goodwill value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninemmbill Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 The use of "Thank You" is something which I feel is being lost with each generation. Sort of like refering to people as "Sir" or "Ma'am" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hello: My parents told me to say please and thank you's and I am passing that on to my kids. It is just a respect thing that puts a smile on your face and hits a place in your heart Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz-0 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 When it comes to volunteer help, always let those helping know how much you appreciate the help. Especially if people are new. It encourages those inclined to be a big help to keep on doing it, and it keeps you aware of how much help you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I remembered to say Thank You the other nite after Smitty was nice enough to pull a tiny piece of bullet splatter out of my neck. Least I could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Gaines Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 thank you are not only great to hear, but they are always welcomed. Not only is it proffesional, its classy. I always stress that our squad members write thank you cards, or send emails to sponsors for their generosity and match contributions. What would we do without them?
