Clause 2.2.1.1

[Jim Watson]

I thought you meant that staging the magazines in front of the gun was mandatory. If not, dumb to do so.

In the OP's case, it was. Dumb setup.

Yikes. I haven't seen that happen at a match and I hope I don't ever.

Shooters weren't told to put magazines in front of the muzzle.
They were told if they muzzled their hands when reaching for the magazines then it would be a DQ.

You can tell shooters to place magazines first then the pistol, but that doesn't mean they are going to do it in that order.

Ah, got it.
