Gaining a Rep?

Like a lot of gunnies, I seem to be engaged in a perpetually useless do-loop known as "The Hunt for .22 Rimfire". I don't do it a lot, but if I'm going by a LGS and I have the time to stop, I sometimes stop in.

I went into one this week. The owner and I know each other by sight only. I've never seen him at the range I use or at any of the matches that I've shot in.

He greeted me when I walked in the door thusly: "Hi. Hey, I hear that you shot a Mosin at a 3-gun match."

I replied: "Yeah, and a Krag."

"Not exactly your 'high-speed, low-drag' match rifle."

"Yeah, well, I didn't come in last."

So now, I'm the local eccentric match shooter. There are probably worse reputations to have.
