Pre-purchase FAQ
The unit comes with over 400 games including what we call 4D animals.

No. BowSim 4D is a complex and very customized system that is perfectly tuned to all the hardware components.
This is what it looks
The system is set up for four people but it really does not matter for general training. Most shooting is done in fast progression on constantly changing slides. Speed and training fast shooting is the fun part here. During this type of casual training as many people as are safe to operate can be involved.
The unit comes with all games including what we call 4D animals. They are video clips of moving animals and animal dinosaur or fantasy animations.
Just like when shooting at 3D animals as common in archery no animals will be harmed. 4D animals provide movement in addition and suggest an option bringing young people closer to nature and a lifelike outdoor environment.
Featured are animals from all continents including sounds of native birds and wildlife.
Businesses that do not wish to display 4D animals can create custom playlists for their customers that provide selected content of their choice.
Yes. Some customers choose to start with a 3x2 meter (or even smaller) 4D target and add additional height and width later.
A maximum practical height is 2.5 meters as arrows are too hard to pull when any higher. For such targets, the screen will be 4 meters wide. Smaller targets are also possible. Going bigger will require a second projector and target that can connect next to it. Content for such setups is available. To some customers, we offer software that allows even three screens beside each other displaying one continuous image. The target size for such a setup can be up to 2.5x12 meters and requires 3 projectors.
This company has a distributor in the US and other parts of the world: https://www.danage.dk/ They are not an official reseller for our custom targets but have delivered to our customers before.
Generally, you don't need another screen as the projection is your screen. For permanent setups, some customers purchase a small touch screen for the navigation. However, this is just an add-on that is not needed. We recommend starting without touchscreen navigation. This option can be added any time later. Here a sample video. https://youtu.be/xVG1SzLtFv8 These screens can be acquired online at a small cost.
It does not really matter. If you choose a WXGA projector with a 16:10 format (such as 1280x800 pixel) you can project a small or a large image. The quality will remain. Depending on the brightness of the projector the target will be brighter or less bright. Projectors with other image ratios as 16:9 or 3:4 are not suited.
