Title: taller pop up blind info
Post by: Jon Stewart on September 17, 2018, 10:56:36 AM
I am looking for a pop up blind that is a bit taller so I can use my self bow out of it. Anything out there worth looking at and if anyone has had some experience with them that would be good info also.

I've personally used the Barronett Grounder 350 Hunting Blind.

Set-up size: 90" x 90"
Footprint: 70" x 70"
Overall height: 80"
Overall weight: 19 lbs.

It's plenty of room for 2-3 people.

I sit comfortably in a chair--shoot at 62" bow and never have to worry about hitting the top.

Good luck in your search.

Josh

I'll second the Grounder 350. I can easily shoot a 68" longbow in them. Tall enough to stand up and stretch a little too.

Hidden Hunter. You can get one from Ron LaClair at Shrewbows.com
It's about 6' tall inside.

I just ordered my Big Mike blind yesterday. I hunted out of one last turkey season. Loved it, tons of room for bow clearance .

Why do blinds need a roof?

Why do blinds need a roof?

Makes it darker inside so can get away with a little movement
Protection with a light rain
Better scent control

Love the big barronett blinds for semi-permanent setups.

Without a roof it is like a spot light is shining on you inside the blind.

I put a couple of blocks of wood under the back part of my pop up blind, elevated the rear about a foot.  It gave me enough room to shoot my 64" longbow, and the shooting window wasn't affected much.  That being said, I put it in a location was there was no shot to the back, only heavy brush.

Hidden Hunter are great blinds and you wont go wrong with one.  I also like the Barronett blind but the model I like is the Big Cat big and roomy like the big Mike but the windows are set a bit lower on the blind

Good to know, that's the one thing I didn't like - the high window. TNX for the info :thumbsup:

I don't remember the name of mine, and it's set up where the deer can get used to seeing it before Oct. 1, but I got it from Chad Weaver the string maker, LBR on TradGang. It's plenty big enough for me and my bows, with a high ceiling and good windows. Room for a partner, too.

I have an old "Double Bull" recurve model that I really like.  I know they are more expensive, but I have been in others and they don't seem as good as mine.  Think mine was still made in the USA.  Think they are now made overseas.
