I found nook manager for 1.2.1 but the nook just boots without running nook manager. I can find the file once it boots but doesn't auto-run.
Any ideas?
-
Is the software you used easy to use?
-
The new nook is 1.2.1 but both of my rooted nooks say "software version unavailable".
Isn't it supposed to install with the sd card inserted? I don't think I had to press any buttons while it powered up. I just downloaded RASI and then unzipped RASI, then powered up and RASI did the rest...
-
I'm trying to help someone root their new Nook ST to install Practiscore. I setup my Nook and a backup last year but can't get RASI to install on this Nook.
I started with his micro SD card with un-zipped RASI installed but it would just turn on and not install. Tried my SD card that I used previously to setup two Nooks but the new Nook just turns on and won't install.
What step am I missing?
-
Thanks! That's a great idea! I wonder if I heat them up with a torch it will take away the brittleness?

After a bit of research as Trent suggested, I think I may have to go with a nail. Ken sight has two sizes available, .053 and .078. Using a drill bit to size the hole, a 1/16" (.062") bit floats and a 5/64" (.078") won't fit into the pivot hole.

Could anyone direct me to a gunsmith who would be accepting 2011's for some work? Bought a used Tripp (open) and it needs a bit of tuneup work before I start to really get into it. Checked with a couple that I have heard about but both not accepting new work.
-
Thanks for that! I did as you recommended and it does seem to be simpler. The no power factor threw me but I understood once the no score/points part sunk in...
Other than hit A's as quickly as you can, what's the basic strategy with time plus? Is it opposite of USPSA where time often trumps accuracy? There's a guy who shoots USPSA pistol and shoots slowly but usually gets all A's, finishes near the bottom but occasionally wins at our IDPA match.
-
Does anyone have contact info to Bomar gun sights? Just noticed that my rear sight's cross pin for elevation pivot lost half of it's length.
-
Yes, we were scoring on paper just like you would a USPSA pistol match. With the popularity of time plus I am starting to wonder if we should switch. There must be a reason for the popularity of that style of scoring.
We are a small club with 16-24 competitors and the same guys attend each month so it's pretty easy to do without online or pre-registration but practiscore sure is the best!
-
I was wondering if that would be how it's set up but wondering about the power factor. How would you designate if a competitor was major pistol but minor rifle or the other way around.
Are we behind the times scoring multi gun with hit factor?
-
Thanks for your help Crash! I learned about that pulling while sync'ng early on (the hard way)...
One of the things I learned with our recent match was dealing with classifier re-shoots or competitor shooting a classifier 2nd division. I use a separate nook just for that but used the master list instead of adding the name a 2nd time. Found out that was wrong when the 2nd division shooter's score messed up the match results but eventually got it all straightened out.
One more thing you might be able to help me with. If setting up a USPSA multi gun match using hit factor scoring, I don't see the USPSA Multi Gun match type listed on the ipad, only 3GN Club, 3GN Pro Eliminator, 3GN Shotgun, Tennessee 3 Gun, Time Plus and Time Plus (points). The Nook does list USPSA Multi Gun but scoring type is either Time Plus or Match Points Entry.
What match type do I select for USPSA multi gun using hit factor scoring?
Nook version; 1.3.10
iPad version; 1.680 (3)
-
Thanks! That is reassuring. We're still new to practiscore and learning, often learning from mistakes I made during the match setup but practiscore sure is an awesome tool! Thanks again for the tips and wish us luck!

It looks like we're going to try squadding next month and this will be the first time since we started to use practiscore. We're using an ipad for master and Nook ST for scoring. Not using online registration and pulling to ipad after the match. Wondering what the best practice would be?
I created a sample match to checked it out and found that I could set the squads in the ipad and then pull to Nook or pull the master list and then set the squads on the Nook. Which way is best?
We will have a Nook for each squad and it will follow the squad through the match. In the scoring tab I see all of the sqads listed so does that mean that practiscore will merge the scores and ignore the missing scores from the other squad?
Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
-
Thanks for the tips! I'll probably create a sample match and do a dry run before the next match. See which scenario works best for us. Thanks again!
-
A 2nd match is starting to look like what we need to do. We're kind of new to ps so got to figure out how to set up a second match on the same day for the multi gun COF...
-
Just when I thought this was going to be simpler than I thought...if we score it with practiscore and as just another stage, how do we factor in major minor for pistol/rifle?
Back to the drawing board...
-
Thanks! So you believe that the USPSA would prefer that the multi gun COF be separated from the pistol only COFs?
The USPSA multi gun rules did list traditional USPSA hit factor scoring or time plus as acceptable scoring systems with comstock, limited time comstock, fixed, virginia and time plus scoring methods. Combining multi gun with a pistol match not mentioned...
Anyone else doing USPSA pistol match with additional multi gun COF?
-
We sometimes add a multi-gun stage to our USPSA pistol match. We used to score it like a regular pistol stage, timed with a hit factor but never since we started using practiscore.
How would you enter a single multi gun COF that is part of a pistol match when using practiscore? Add it like any other pistol COF and count the clays/steel/pins as steel and number of paper targets?
Or would the USPSA frown on this practice?

For my purposes, I found the Aftec extractor to be the most reliable.
Years ago I had fits getting extractors to work on a 9x21 gun with a Caspian slide. Tried several different brands and continued to have problems. A friend recommended the then new Aftec extractors. It solved all problems.
That gun has well over 75 thousand rounds on it with only the occasional spring change. None of the springs went bad, it was just a good time to change them out.
My other match guns have not had that many rounds through them but they all have Aftec extractors and all perform flawlessly.
To me it was the buy once, cry once situation.
(Someone jog my memory. Originally these were marketed under a different name. Was it Millenium Gun Works or something? Thanks.)
Millennium Custom?

If the extractor is okay I would load longer. As for the slide locking back prematurely, relieve the inside of the slide stop lug as it is probably contacting the bullet before the follower....
-
You could try tapering that "divot" to kind of like a teardrop shape divot to make it easier to release from the detent...
-
Thanks! Great info! I'll stick with Tripp, Wilson or Dawson.
By the way, in another thread here, someone said that if you slip a fired 9mm case over the bullet it helps while stripping the top couple of rounds...
-
I have been hankering for a 9mm single stack but just read another thread about the difficulty with removing rounds from a full mag. This got me wondering and did not want to highjack that thread so, how tough is it seating a full 10 round 9mm mag with the slide down...
Excessive "extreme spread"

Nope. Just set my load to the lowest velocity while shot "normal" position. Shoot only local matches but asking chrono guy at a big match to dip the muzzle b4 each shot wouldn't fly.
Never tested it but I think it could be a small charge with long OAL (1.2") resulting in the charge being loose. It's just a theory...
I did try a couple of strings with all the same headstamp and got similar results.
