You did not specify what position F1 was in. The wind-up or set.
In OBR from the wind-up F1 can pick-off a runner WITHOUT disengaging OBR 8.01(2)
In FED, F1 cannot pick-off a runner from the wind-up WITHOUT disengaging.
If your instructor was talking about F1 in the set position then he is wrong. If F1 was in the Wind-up position then he is correct.
