Probably a good indicator that they were raised "right"!
I don't "require" the response "sir" from any of the young people I shoot with either, but it goes a lot further with me than "dude" or "no problem".
Great to hear that "young and old" are sharing the same love/interest in shooting.
Good on ya both!
