When firing an auto, what are some methods to practice quickly reloading without losing or damaging the magazine(s) you drop? In winter, there's often several inches of fresh snow on the ground at the range where I fire, and in the summer, I'd worry about damaging my magazines by stepping on them or dropping them on something hard.

I've considered tying off the first magazine (I'm only using two mags right now), probably to my arm, elbow or above. That way, there's quite a bit of slack, and a magazine swinging from my wrist won't interfere with reloading. The cord would be affixed to the magazine with the force with binds the universe together (AKA duct tape).

Any other ideas?
