Game Play Tips


Amazon Survival Tips
1. One secret to keep from losing your arrows is to pay careful attention to your line tension meter. When it goes into the red, the arrow might pull out or worse, the line might break and you will lose an arrow. With the tension meter in the red, let the fish take out drag by releasing the mouse button. Our reels don't really have this "drag out" sound, but since you can't actually feel the fish in the game, it will help you tell when a fish is taking out line.
2.
Though it may seem like it takes a long time in the game, our reel actually reels in line at 3 feet per second. If you're under attack by a school of hungry fish, take close shots so you can reel in quickly to defend yourself and your raft from other attacking fish.
3.

If you see that you're approaching "multiple threats" in the river, or "multiple threats" are approaching you, determine which threat can be killed or scared to help you make it past that location. Then take your shots accordingly.


Tropical Island Survival Tips
1.

Most of the time, fear can help save a fish. But with the zero drag Retriever Bowfishing Reel, you can shoot farther than ever. So don't be afraid to take long shots in the tropical surf to hit fish or actually shoot past them and scare them closer to you for a better shot.

2. We don't recommend shooting other fish besides what is legal in your area, but keep your eyes peeled for little targets that scurry about and are normally not legal to shoot. Remember, you need food to survive. And don't forget to try some aerial shots for fun - in the game only please. Never shoot at flying things in the real world unless it's flying fish.

Tournament Play Tips
1. If you're in the World Record mode, take a good look at the school of fish before you shoot. Like in the real world, one fish will be bigger and weigh more than the others.
2. Like in the real world, fish in the game will "dive deeper" for safety when they hear your outboard or your arrow hitting the water. If you spot a real hawg, wait it out and sneak in for a shot when it comes back up within shooting range.
3. AMS Bowfishing's bowfisherman are some of the best in the world and they know when to wait and aim carefully on an approaching fish and when to snap-shoot on a departing fish. Same holds true in the game.
