  3. I found another solution. Smart Time Sync worked on my older model Nook Simple Touch. So I now have all of my Nook's synced.
  4. Yes, I have them on the home router and none will update the time. I left one on for two days and it is still running fast.
  5. Clocksync won't work on my Nook Simple Touch (BNRV300). I used Root'n'ScoreIt last summer to root my Nooks. I get this message: Unfortunately, ClockSync can't navigate you to the system Date & time settings because your Android version (1.5) doesn't support this API. Please open the launcher home screen, press the Menu button, Settings, Date & time. Settings: Date & Time doesn't help either. Anything else that might help me to set the time? Bud
  6. Does that work in the Android version? I am up to date, so when I tap the update app, nothing happens, which might be the correct behavior. But, it would be great if that works, as I can't find the APK on Practiscore.com anymore. Bud
  7. I have Practiscore 1.2.30 on all of the club Nooks. One Nook is running 10 minutes fast this month. I discovered that when I tried to sync with my tablet and got an error message to the effect of "time not the same". Has anyone else seen this? I have tried to reset the time on this Nook but have been unable to do so. Bud Connolly Crooked Creek Pistol League OH12
  8. Willie, There is no magazine length restriction in Standard. However, the gun, with a magazine inserted must fit within a box which has internal dimensions of 225 mm x 150 mm x 45 mm. Note that all magazines must comply. And Standard has the same holster and mag pouch position restrictions as Production does here (behind the hip bone as viewed from the side). Bud
  9. Thanks for all of the responses. Since I used Root'n'ScoreIt, I had to use DropBox to upgrade Practiscore to the latest version. I guess that's why it was on the tablet. :^) Bud
  10. I have Practiscore 1.2.18 installed on several Nook Simple Touch's. Practiscore is up to version 1.2.24 while Root'n'ScoreIt is still at 1.2.18. How do I update the Nook using the Practiscore APK? I'm not an Android guru! Bud
  11. Actually, you need to place 8 rounds in the baggie provided along with a sticker with the backing still on. If they follow standard procedure. However, the Chrono Officer can ask for 8 rounds from the magazines on your belt when you come to chrono as well. He does not have to use the 8 rounds you supplied on the first stage. Chrono guys just hate it when you grab ammo from a box marked "DANGER CHRONO ONLY!!!". See Appendix C2 in the current rulebook for a complete desription of the chrono procedure, but here is the pertinent part for you: Competitor Ammunition Collection and Storage 28. An initial sample of eight rounds of ammunition will be collected from each competitor at a time and place determined by Match Officials. Match Officials may require that a competitor’s ammunition be retested at any time during the match and may collect further samples as necessary. 29. It is recommended that ammunition be collected from competitors as randomly as is possible to insure that the collected ammunition accurately matches the ammunition the competitor is actually using in competition. 30. Collected ammunition must be clearly labeled with the competitor’s identity. 31. Collected ammunition must be stored in a shaded location, out of the direct effects of the sun. When stored overnight, collected ammunition must be stored indoors at normal room temperature. And yes, you can go back to your car at lunch and get more ammo. Bud
  12. Kyle, What are the chances that this new ruling will be finalized in time for Area 8 (August 9-12)? Bud
  13. Kyle, Since you are now the Area 5 Director, have you brought this matter to the attention of the Director of NROI? John is noticeably absent on this forum. As for the SNL, that has more to do with the fact that magazines are not made to exacting tolerances. As I stated earlier, I have two mags that are on the short side and fit the gauge with SNL basepads. As for the Glock big stick mags. For some strange reason, I never see those anywhere near the Chronograph. Must be afraid of infrared light or something. Bud
  14. And how do you quantify "enough force to keep it in place"? Is it enough force to keep it in place with the back of the magazine touching the pads in the gauge? Or is it enough force to keep it in place that the mag doesn't fall out if the mag and gauge are held with the long axis going vertical? Hence the very reason I started this thread !!! Enough force to keep the magazine on top of the gauge while holding it up to a light to see if the pads are in contact with the magazine. Basically, very little force. I like it even better when I can just slide the mag up and down in the gauge. The gauge is made oversized, so a 'legal' magazine should fit in just by setting it on the gauge. As for the Glock basepads, I have not seen any that did not fit in the gauge. What model Glock magazines have this need for extra tall basepads? Bud
  15. I just don't get it. You place the magazine in the gauge, you hold the magazine with enough force to keep it in place in the gauge. You check to see that there is no space above the two pads on the gauge where the magazine should be touching. If this really needs directions in the rulebook, then we are in sad shape. I have to believe that the gauge was created as a quick and sure method to test magazines. Using a steel ruler to perform this test would take much longer and really back up the chronograph stage. But, I am willing to bet that is what some of you want so the mag check is thrown out. Things to do to help you pass the mag gauge test. Remove any grip tape from the back 1/2" of the basepad. Chamfer the back corner of the mag behind the feed lips. Test your mags in a gauge before the match. Don't rely on the manufacturers claim that his basepads will fit the gauge. Magazines are not made to 0.001" tolerances. I have 9 SV mags and only two of them will pass the gauge with a Dawson +1 SNL basepad. Bud
