# Quick Start Guide Just got your Starter CQB Gunstock? Read this to learn how to use it like a pro in no time. This basic guide is intended to provide first time owners with the immediate necessary information to go from unboxing to using in game. # Getting Started **Getting Started (no ProStraps):** 1. After unboxing, the first thing you need to do is get the mag cup. The mag cup will be in its own bubble wrap bag, or already on the Starter depending on the controller brand you ordered. If already on the Starter, you can grab the cup firmly, and remove by using a doorknob twist motion. **Please note: only the left cup is magnetic.** 2. On each cup will be writing to indicate if it is for the left or right controller. Underneath the left cup, where you see the magnet, you might also see some more writing indicating which brand the cups are for (i.e. Quest 2). 3. Before putting your controllers into the cups, it is suggested to wipe down the part of the controllers that will go inside. This is to ensure optimal friction so they do not slide out easily. Next, observe the small hole in the cup. This is intended for feeding the wrist strap through, and should be facing you, or away from the trigger button on the controller. The magnet on the bottom of the left cup should be angled towards the right. 4. To install, simply start with the wrist strap and feed it through the small hole. Then push the controller into the cup until it cannot go any further. Use of excessive force is not required as it should easily go in until it hits friction, and then with a little bit of force you should be able to continue pushing in until it won't go any further. That is the point at which you should stop and it is considered installed in the cup. **Please note: if you are using Index or PSVR 2, we have videos in Website tutorials under Cup.** **Getting Started (with ProStraps):** 1. All steps above apply. **Before** putting controllers into the cups you will need to install the ProStraps as shown in our [tutorials](https://www.protubevr.com/en/content/42-tutorials). Depending on your controller brand, and the state in which they were received (pre-installed vs separately) what you do may vary. But essentially, you need the bottom to be on the cup, and the top to either be connected to an insert you put inside your controller's battery cover (ProStraps Grips), or inside the cup itself (ProStraps GRips MK2 Flex for controller holder). 2. Please note for the right cup you are still replacing the nut with the ProStrap metal mounting, but instead of removing the magnet you are removing the bolt. 3. Once the ProStraps are correctly installed, you follow step 4 above. # Setting up the Starter 1. Once out of the bubble wrap inspect your Starter. If you want to use it left handed, now is the time to swap hands following this [video](https://youtu.be/JqMz-i5TAP4?si=56C8dZ17ZZOJ8NHk). 2. If you ordered the Starter - Stock Upgrade now is the time to install it following this [tutorial](https://www.protubevr.com/fr/index.php?controller=attachment&id_attachment=82) (prompts download). 3. If you ordered the Static Stock MK2 upgrade for the Starter - Stock Upgrade now is the time to install it following this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7SYyDTQNfs). 4. If you ordered a sling, now is the time to install it. Inspect your Starter - Stock Upgrade. Protruding from the connector connecting the tube to the shoulder stock you will see a rubber ring intended as a sling mounting point. 5. You may put the controller into the fixed cup and the controller in the mag cup onto the Starter. It is now ready for use! # Using Your Starter for the First Time 1. The first thing you will need to do is adjust/align your Starter so that you can see through the sights on firearms. This [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoV8TQIEUYo) by community member ragesaq is perfect to follow along. While the video is intended for MagTube alignment, the methodology and philosophy behind the approach still applies, particularly if you have the Starter - Stock Upgrade. 2. By default you can adjust how close or far apart the controllers are from each other, as well as adjust the angle. Additionally, if you have the Starter - Stock Upgrade you have two connector joints of adjustment to work with. 3. For pump action shotguns there are multiple ways to pump rounds. One popular method is to loosen the supporting hand controller mount enough so it can freely move forward and backward along its axis (not to be confused with loosening the entire bracket on the tube) but tight enough as desired by preference. Then simply rock the controller back and forth to pump. 4. Once you follow the video practice makes perfect! It may take some time to get the adjustments and alignment dialed in to suit your preferences. It will also take some time to get used to detaching and reattaching the controller to the Starter, and to reload firearms, etc. For additional tips, and community shared advice, head over to our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/kAsGHs2). # Important information for Meta Quest (any model) users 1. Being inside out tracking, the sensors on both controllers need to be visible by the headset to maintain optimal tracking. You will want to keep this in mind when setting up your gunstock to align to guns in games. 2. On newer models that have hand tracking, you will want to make sure hand tracking is disabled when gunstock is in use. The hand tracking gets confused, and tries to engage, causing tracking issues. This also applies when using a Meta Quest on PC. # Basic troubleshooting & tips 1. If the Starter feels wobbly or 'loose', tighten the various joints using the larger of the 2 allen keys provided. 2. You can save yourself some effort when changing setup for different games by taking pictures of what works in a particular game before changing it, to make it easier to go back to later on. 3. If you are trying to figure out how to use your sling, there are countless video guides on YouTube for airsoft, and actual firearms that translate perfectly to Starter use. 4. Much more information is provided in the links shared at the very start of this guide. I did not cover any of that information here.
