Your shooting will improve if you wear the VR headset correctly. Both in virtual reality and that other reality.
Since the Vive Pro Headset uses fresnel lenses, it has little tolerance for off-axis viewing. Meaning, if you are not looking directly at the target, the image may go a bit fuzzy, since you’ll be looking at the edge of the fresnel prisms. Looking directly at the target will restore clarity. This in effect forces correct head position on the gunstock in Clazer Pro Gun – you have to hold your head right to get the clearest image of the target.
If you’re looking at the target with partial peripheral vision, it may appear a bit fuzzy. Don’t do that. Look right at it with both eyes and when you do, your VR shooting will truly come into focus ! Moral: look straight at the target in both realities – virtual and that other one that people are talking about.
Most shooters will have no problem with the Vive Pro headset if they have a good cheek to wood contact, and hold their head high and behind their thumb, like they’re supposed to. This is a Monte Carlo stock and good LOP, so she’s not sucking her thumb, and Ms. Rhode would have gobs of room for a VR headset:

Looking at this picture of the pro headset ( https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/the-eye-tracking-htc-vive-pro-eye-is-a-sign-of-vr-to-come/ ) – I am wondering if the HTC headset will get in the way of properly connecting the stock to the cheek?
Chip Northrup says
It might, depending on your gun hold and the gun stock. What we’ve found is that you can weld your cheek to the stock OK, but the headset may hit the back of your thumb if your hand is not far enough from your head, meaning LOP is too short. Will do a video.
Jakob says
What about the Cosmo Elite headset? Any compatibility issues?
Proper cheek-weld issues?
Chip Northrup says
It might , haven’t heard otherwise, if dimensions similar at Vive Pro. Check weld is use/ gun stock dependent, which is why there is an offset adjustment in the game.
Jakob says
Got Valve Index and ordered a tracker mount. The Index is definitely getting in the way of proper cheek weld on a Browning 725. I am thinking that a high comb riser may help. Are you saying that the offset adjustment will compensate for the changed angle of the gun due to the elevated comb?
Chip Northrup says
The offset in the game software lowers or raises the perceived height of the barrel from your cheek weld. If you cannot get a good sight picture, you may need to put a pad/lift on the comb to raise your cheek on the stock.

Andy says
Where can I buy the VR tracker mounting bracket for my shotgun.
Chip Northrup says
We have redesigned it, are using a tougher plastic and building the new model soon.
Andy says
Any details on the new model, is it different to the current one apart from being tougher? Does it use a second trigger in front of the real one..would be nice?
James L Northrup says
For liability reasons – aka The Alex Baldwin Principle – we cannot use the real trigger. . . Where you attach the electrical switch is up to you. I put mine on the receiver.
