I've always considered this to be a really ticky-tack call. The shooter isn't being pushed or disadvantaged in any way. The poke isn't enough to hurt.

Does anybody call this on a regular basis?
I don't think I've ever called it. If it's enough to get my attention I'll have a quick word with the guy doing the poking ("knock that sh1t off").
