Bow Hunt Simulator

About this game

The most advanced 3d bow simulator for hunters, using real archery ballistics and realistic animals.
Archery simulator for bow hunters that that let you simulate shot placements using ballistics, realistic environment and moving animals. This app is designed as a technical simulator and not as a game.
Features:
-Adjustable Compound bow w/sigths
-Adjustable Recurve bow.
-Speed calculator for compound bow
-Inspect shot placement after shot, velocity, flighttime, energy etc.
-Whitetail Deer, Elk, Roe deer, Wildboar and Wild Turkey
-advanced "jump string" reaction algorithm
-Metric and imperial units
-Real time arrow trajectory
-X-ray vitals in shot inspect
-walking animals from random distance
-Distance up to 100yds.
-Real time arrow ballistics.
-Calculates: wind drift, drop, flighttime
-Calculates reaction time for animal.
-Set direction and pose of animal

Ratings and reviews

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

It's a cool app, very helpful to learn different shot angles. Wish the animals would drop or something after they are shot. They run after the shot but never actually fall dead. Would make it a little more exciting for the user.

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)
