I'm not an RO and have only been shooting USPSA for a year. My first couple of matches I had a couple of RO's yell finger. My 3 match I had and AD (down range) loading a mag because of that "soft finger". I can see it both ways, but think the best bet is to reinforce the safety rules with new shooters prior to shooting and call the game as it happens for consistency. Since that DQ & viagra no more soft finger!
