The World's First Bowfishing Simulator
The Ultimate Bowfishing Experience
Every bowfishing trip in The World of Bowfishing is engineered to replicate the real thing — from the tension of the draw to the splash of the catch. Built by American bowfishermen who live this sport, for the community that's always deserved a game made by its own. Bowfishing isn't a hobby, it's a lifestyle.
Wade into meticulously crafted environments inspired by actual U.S. waterways — from the murky, Spanish-moss-draped bayous of Louisiana to the wide, slow-moving reservoirs of the Midwest. Every region brings its own freshwater ecosystem, challenge, and atmosphere.
Your rig, your rules. Select a hull, spec out your motor, dial in your lighting array, and deck it out however you see fit. Build the flat-bottom bruiser of your dreams — or start modest and upgrade as your career earns out.
Configure every component of your rig — bow color, reel seat, reel model, arrow rest, and laser sight. Get your setup dialed exactly the way you'd have it on the water.
Take on competitive events held at iconic venues across the country — from small local meets to national-scale tournaments. Track your standings, strategize target species, and chase the title, because every score counts.
Start from the dock and work your way up. Unlock new waterways, acquire premium equipment, enter higher-stakes tournaments, and grow your operation from a one-boat hustle into a full-scale bowfishing fleet. The grind is real — and so are the rewards.
From hard-fighting Asian carp to trophy alligator gar, World of Bowfishing features a growing roster of scientifically accurate freshwater rough fish. Each species behaves differently — and demands a different approach.
Screenshots updated monthly as development progresses.
We're a small, USA-based team of bowfishermen building this for bowfishermen — led by an industry veteran with over 15 years of game and simulator development experience, and over 20 years bowfishing. We don't have a big publisher behind us — we have a vision, the skills to execute it, and a deep love for the sport.
World of Bowfishing is developed by Full Draw Studios — American bowfishermen building the world's first true bowfishing simulator, the game we always wished existed. Not a committee, but a tight crew that has been crafting games and simulation experiences since 2010, backed by over twenty years of hands-on bowfishing experience on U.S. waters. That history shows up in every mechanic, every fish behavior, and every detail of the rig builder.
Being independent means we can be bold. We're not chasing trends or focus-testing the soul out of this game. We're building the bowfishing experience we've always wanted to play — and the one the community has always deserved.
World of Bowfishing is more than a game — it's a platform for the entire bowfishing community. Whether you're a brand looking to reach your audience in an entirely new way, or an individual who believes in what we're building, there's a place for you in this story.
Put your brand inside the game. Product placements, co-branded gear, in-game storefronts, and logo visibility across hundreds of hours of gameplay — all in front of an audience that lives and breathes this sport. Sponsorship is the highest-visibility path to reaching bowfishing's most dedicated fans.
You don't have to be a brand to be part of this. Community backers are the backbone of indie development. Pitch in at any level and we'll make sure you're recognized — from in-game credits to exclusive supporter content and early access privileges. The more support we raise, the faster we can grow the team and expand the game — including online multiplayer and leaderboards down the road.
