Chumps archery game broken?

[Bummer6]

so I've tried playing the archery game Chumps where you shoot arrows at logs floating down the river. I've tried many times, but I never get a single point. Many times I even hear the arrows clearly hit the log, and I even managed to get close enough to one of the logs that I could SEE my arrow hitting it, but I was still not rewarded any points. Something is clearly not right.

Well, that might not be very helpful but I can confirm that it's winnable. At least it was for me.

You might want to retry it to reproduce the problem. Could be that the game didn't autoequip the right arrows in your case.

can also confirm its winnable

I figured it out. You need a pretty strong bow for the arrows to actually stick to the logs, apparently. I was hitting the logs, but my bow didn't have a high enough strength requirement... Seems a bit odd that the game doesn't warn you about this before you enter the competition, but oh well.

I couldnt hit a single one either =(

I don't have an issue with not being able to hit it. My issue is i keep running out of arrows early. For instance you get 20 arrows to fire and i can only fire 15 before i run out and i can't fire the other 5 thus making me lose the game.

Yeah, same here. Sometimes I can't fire the last 2 or the last 5. No idea why or what to do.

The contest ends with "shoot one last arrow". If you're not near him to hear him, you won't know it's your last arrow. I'm on my 3rd playthrough, the best I've done is down to 1 arrow that I couldn't shoot. (varies, I've had up to 4 I couldn't shoot because I dilly-dally).

Be quick about shooting, I recommend the Capon Bow, it's draw time is half of the better long bows, so it's not about damage, it's about getting a "full draw" with a bow in the shortest amount of time. I use the Capon Bow all the time with "better" arrow types, arrows with a power mod of 1 or 1.1.
