Great tool to learn arrow flight and animal anatomy for hunting. Can you add black bears and a 5th pin for the sight? Maybe add savable bow/arrow setups? Also, a setting to disable the zooming part, so it is more realistic?

This is worth 10x the price point. If you actually own a bow, you have to get this. If you do not, nor ever intend to, then of course you wont understand the value. As much as I love it, I only have one very large request to developer Kristian. I have put down the compound bow for the traditional recurve bow. As have many. Barebow/Traditional archery & hunting are the fastest growing segment of the sport right now. I can nearly get a Barebow feel by taking the vel down to 210ft, weight at 400gr, and a normal light arrow. *Barebow = no sights, tip of arrow is placed underneath target (as a single pin) until you hit 40y, which is the point on distance, afterwhich one would need to place tip over target) I also just use one pin set at 39-43yards, as this simulated the average barebow point-on-distance of 40y. This essentially makes a gap-shooting simulation if you can dial in the settings. Not perfect, but I can get something out of this for sure. I am one of those who went traditional and If you could include a re-curve barebow (and its arrow settings) and use a gap shooting /split vision aiming style i think you will see a big increase in users. (from a simulation standpoint, they are almost identical, only diff is in real life the hunters eye goes back and forth between the target and arrow tip (the lower pin/gap) or use split which watches both the intended target and the tip simultaneously. In fact, you could just make a separate app for traditional, and IMHO, you would probably have an equal or larger amount of customers. (and have both longbow and recurve as an option) *note there is something called fingerwalking, but that is mainly competition barebow, and majority of traditional/barebow hunting use gap shooting/split vision. Cheers from TX *Arrow length option+ depth of penetration would be pretty great too + having "missed animal" instead of just "missed Vitals" + if animal hit in vitals it would fall over

Thanx alot for this in depth and interesting feedback, I have been thinking about including instinctive bow shooting so really nice to get an actual request about it. Stay tuned

This a great Sim for shot placement. Use it as a way of teaching the kids where to aim. Would be nice to add a crossbow setup. And even better an option simulate a random "jump string drop" to watch the deer duck as the arrow is in flight. (The jump estimate is a good tool also)
