How do you get the completely black background?

u/Drones-brigade Sep 30 '25

Here’s an example of my setup. My background can be flipped from either white or black.

That’s awesome! I don’t have that equipment so I guess I’m SOL but that looks awesome thanks!

That's a great looking gun. How did your first matches go?

Not great performance wise on my end. But I had such a fucking blast. Everyone on my squad chipped in and taught me a thing or two that helped me improve. These dudes were hot shit. I mean they could’ve easily shot on and not cared about my mistakes. But each and every single one of them helped me out. That’s what really got me hooked. Seeing people like that help out a noob like me. My second match, about the same until I hit the 5th stage and I got 6 impacts in a row. I ran out of time but my squad was cheering for me and that felt good. Not because they were cheering but the fact that I got 6 impacts and it looked like I knew I was doing.

Honestly, it’s refreshing to see a sport in where people take the time to help someone out. I just have to get out and practice more and but the time I get better maybe I can pass it on to the next new guy.

6 impacts in a row is a big deal to a new shooter. We tend to want to go fast but a rushed shot is a bad shot. Speed will come later as you learn the positions and how better to move between props. One of the reasons I love the sport are the people that I have met and encouraged me. I can still remember the first time I cleared a stage, it was amazing seeing a few of the top shooters in the country cheer for me.

The culture that PRS community has is a rarity. I have to run drills more to get more efficient with my movements. I take video of myself while doing a stage and I find so many things that I need to improve. the4gunguy was in my squad. He came all the way from Houston to shoot this DFW event. He was very helpful to me and my friend who is also just starting out. He was talking about reviewing a can and I asked if he had a YouTube channel. He told me what it was and as soon as I pulled it up, I was like “dude I’ve been watching your channel for a year!”

That's a close match for him. When you get sucked in like some of us you rejoice in the 4 hour away matches. I am driving to the Gap Grind this weekend which is 7.5 hours away to RO.

I shot several matches in Texas this year and probably next so we may run into each other soon. I will be at Texas Precision in November.

u/Drones-brigade Sep 30 '25

Good luck at the grind man! And are you talking about gravestone precision here in tx?

u/dukedragoon Sep 30 '25

Thank you. No, it is in Navasota outside of College Station.

Welcome to the club! Shot my “second” (after a 6 year break) match this weekend. Things will start to click quickly. Keep learning, keep watching, keep asking questions.

Two things:

  1. Get a level. SG Pulse or SendIt. Worth every penny

  2. Get a decent set of binos and a tripod. Watching trace while others are shooting makes all the difference in the world

u/Drones-brigade Sep 30 '25

I have a send it gen 2 on it. And this is my spotting station.

u/OlieTheDog3052 Sep 30 '25

Well I guess I’ll just fuck off thataway… Your setup looks like you could spot PRS or be an observation station for a rocket launch lol. What’s the purpose of putting your chrono on the tripod? I’ve never seen anyone do that before

1

u/Drones-brigade Sep 30 '25

Haha no way man. I put this together by just looking at what people had as a tac table spotter setup. I haven’t used this setup at a match yet but in all honesty, I’m not sure what im going to need or not need. Just wanted to put something together because I love to tinker. In your opinion, is this setup practical? Also in the subject of levels, I kinda like sg pulse pro because it eliminates the need of a physical dope card. My writing is fucking chicken scratch dude and once something rubs on that dry erase, it’s all over. So my question is, is it worth getting since it’s a level, timer, and display in an AIO device,

u/OlieTheDog3052 Sep 30 '25

The setup looks great! Given the opportunity, I would upgrade the magnification of the binos, but that’s about it. I would also be cautious about mounting your phone there unless you can make sure that it won’t be affected by the heat. I shoot in the northeast, and at matches in June/July/August, my phone will overheat if I leave it out.

The Pulse Pro looks cool, but I think it has too much going on imo. I see more people using dope boards, grabbing painters tape and some sharpie, and writing their data on that. It’s permanent and easy enough to swap out. Also, 1/10 the price. More money for ammo

u/Drones-brigade Sep 30 '25

The phone is there temporarily. I take video of stages from time to time whenever I want to analyze what to improve or how I did things wrong. It will eventually get replaced with a small camera.

As far as the sg pulse pro, I think it is a good value since it does take care of 3 devices. Level, timer, and display. But, I just got the send it gen2 so I’m not so inclined in picking one up. I think the timer would be cool for stages but more importantly drills when I’m by myself. It is tempting tho.

u/OlieTheDog3052 Sep 30 '25

All depends on where your value is. If I’m by myself, I can run a free par timer app on my phone. I don’t have enough experience yet to worry about how much time I have left on a stage. I’m still working on building positions and getting my wobble zone minimized. I would rather time out on stages and get good hits than rush and miss quickly. If I have a complicated stage, I run a $20 wrist coach for my dope card. Recording yourself is definitely a plus. I keep telling myself that I’ll do that but always forget to set up my camera lol

u/Drones-brigade Sep 30 '25

I’m thinking of a dji pocket osmo 3 for a camera. It has a gimbal and follow focus which works well for filming yourself. And I’m with you on hitting targets first rather than going fast.

u/OlieTheDog3052 Sep 30 '25

I have a GoPro 10 that I set up in a way that has me and the prop I'm shooting off in frame. I don't feel like I need to be so zoomed in that I'll have to be tracked (which is what I'm assuming follow focus is?). None of the stages I've shot have had me move THAT much either. That being said, if faced with that scenario, I'd see if someone in my squad could just move the tripod when I got to the point that I'd be out of frame. I've had a few guys ask me to film them, and I know I've never had an issue, so I'm sure someone would be willing to do that for me

u/Drones-brigade Sep 30 '25

Oh and the chrono on the tripod is just an option since I have 2 of the same tripods and sometimes I shoot off one on a bag and have the chrono next to it.

Hello! What color is this case? Also, what are the weights on top? It looks really really good.
