Hi,
Happy holidays everyone
I recently attended a match overseas and would like to know if the clause 2.2.1.1, or the idea behind adding this new clause applies in this scenario:
The starting position for this stage is, on a table we need to put the mags in the square directly in front of the pistol, with the gun’s muzzle pointing forward. The question is, without ever touching the firearm can a person reach for the mags first before handling the pistol?
My understanding of the idea behind including 2.2.1.1 is to not penalize the shooter when he’s on the draw. However in this stage a shooter will not have to draw because the firearm is already on the table, so when the he reaches for the mags before touching the firearm, can this situation be seen as the pistol is before the draw hence shouldn’t be disqualified?
I’m not sure if it’s a common scenario that one may cross his/her body part with guns on the table untouched in a match, if so can someone share their thoughts and experiences on this? In real life, an example I can think of is when cops seize firearms, they display all on the table. And it’s common to see them walk around it.
Thank you
