shooting paintball question

[macg1]

today i took some paintball shots and they came out blurry. i was using shutter priority at 1/125, which was obviously too slow. whats a good speed for shooting paintball?

Never covered paintball but I think 1/500 would be minimum for moving adults

wouldnt that make my pics really dark if its not a bright day? sorry im pretty new

If you want real critique please post an image (with exif) and your equipment.

Yes changing from 1/125 to 1/500 would reduce your light by two stops if you changed nothing else. This would create a much "darker" image. To adjust for the increased shutter you would need to bump the ISO or open the aperture by two stops as well
