I was just wondering if anybody else tips the guys are your local shop. I have been doing this since day one and sometimes get a weird look form someone new behind the counter.

No doubt. Most people don't realize that even high prices like gander mountain has are likely on about 30% mark up. Some products more but on average 30% is good. The shop I'm out of only does a 20% mark up on everything except bows.
+1..This is what I do.

I would love to give my local proshops a tip. It would be go to a bow tuning school, and learn how to do your job, before you get somebody hurt.

The guy's at the shop I go to have always treated me well and don't even charge me for range time anymore.I tried giving a little extra cash after he worked on my bow last time for free but he wouldn't take. He said next time I'm in to bring him a Starbucks.
Same here....I'll drop by with some home-made goodies or buy lunch from time to time. They always take very good care of me, and normally give me a nice discount too.

I have never tipped a proshop. Brought by cookies to a few years back but nothing recently. Their salary should be constructed around their services.

You bring up a great point! Not a dime is made for warranty work unless charged.

I have never tipped my proshop. I think there are other ways of showing your appreciation than just money. I am fairly certain that the guys that help me out would not accept my tip money anyway. The way they treat me says a lot about their customer service, so I always make sure to buy/order the majority of my stuff from them. I think that in itself says a lot to them, when they know there are the cheapy online stores out there.

I would hope we are all talking about service. To tip to buy an item like a sight with no install you would need your head examined

Do you guys leave tips to anyone for service?
I must be too generous, I give a service guy that comes to my house $20 for a small service Refrigerator etc.... $50 for something like the garage doors I just had installed

I do not tip guys in my favorite proshop , but i ask all my friends to go there and do business with them - rather than buying stuff online. More happy customers in the store - more profit to them . More profit equals more bows on the rack ( for me :tongue: ) to choose from. It is sort of triple win combo for the shop , my friends and myself. Think this makes sense.

I do not tip my pro-shop, I do however make sure I buy most of my equipment and supplies from him. I know I could get the stuff for a lower price off the web or bigger stores but he works on my bow, he has helped me out with troubles during the season (no back-up bow) and he is a great guy.
