Bow Aim

Archery with a crosswind. Set your angle and power, read the wind, and loose ten arrows at targets that change distance and height every shot.

How to play

  1. Choose your angle by dragging on the board or with the Aim up and down buttons. Set power with the plus and minus buttons.
  2. Press Shoot to fire at the set power, or hold Hold to draw and release to shoot at the power you reach.
  3. The wind at the top pushes the arrow sideways and changes every shot. A bigger number means a bigger push.
  4. The target rings score 10 in the middle down to 1 on the edge. Ten arrows, a perfect game is 100.

Tips and strategy

  • A headwind or tailwind changes your range, so adjust power rather than angle to correct for it.
  • Hit the same target twice in a row? Try the same power with a one-degree change to see how far it moves.
  • Lower angles fly flatter and are less affected by small power errors at short range.
  • The power gauge keeps its last value, so you often only need to nudge the angle on the next shot.

FAQ

Is every target hittable?
Yes. Every round has a bullseye shot somewhere in the angle and power range, and the game is tested to prove that.
Why does the wind matter if it only pushes sideways?
A tailwind or headwind changes how long the arrow takes to reach the target, which changes how far it drops by then.
Can I aim without a mouse?
Yes. Up and Down keys change the angle, Left and Right change power, Space draws and releases, and Enter shoots.
