I was not the Match Director
All stages were approved by the Area Coordinator and IDPA Headquarters
Julie was registered for the match, which is a requirement by S&W legal. She was filming the ported shield for S&W. She was not part of the match.
They wanted to show the muzzle flash in various lighting conditions and the BUG match was perfect for that.
I am really impressed that you give me that much power
