Title: Pop up blinds with 64" longbowsII
Post by: longshadow on December 05, 2018, 05:38:16 PM

I would like to start using a pop up blind for bowhunting. I shoot 62" and 64"  bows. What pop up blinds do you guys use? Concerned about height and bow clearance.

I have the Big Mike (a good blind, big enough for two people) But by far my favorite blind is the Hidden Hunter Blind. It is about seven feet tall.It is the easiest blind to set up and take down that I have ever seen. It can take a pretty good snow load and comes in a good choice of camo patterns. It is only  one person blind. Since buying the Hidden Hunter the Big Mike has not been set up.,1whitetail1

Hidden hunter blinds look nice but I can buy 3 big Mike's for the price of one of them.

The baronetts look nice I’m looking at the one with adjustable window heights.

GCook, You are right on the price difference. Not everyone wants to pay that much for a blind. I am single so I got away with it.

Check out Xenek Ground Blinds. They are the most thought out blind out there. There are videos about them on their site. They are a little pricey, but if you saw one you would say it is worth it.

1Whitetail1, my hidden hunter blind is the largest size.  It can accommodate two people. It will handle 62"-64" LBs with no issues.

I shoot a 62" Silvertip, and have had good luck out of Barronett Grounder 350...big enough for two, and tall enough for my bow.

Good luck in search.

Josh

Yooper-Traveler, Maybe I don't have the same one that you do. I am pretty big and doesn't leave much room to share. But it works for me and it is my favorite blind of the seven blinds that I have. Thanks for your info. 1whitetail1

I could afford one or three.  I currently own a Maverick six shooter and a Krivoman deluxe sitting on platforms I designed.  But for a mobile/part time blind I'm just . . . cheap.

They have different sizes. I’m thin lol so I can fit a second person.

I had a Primo’s club xl it worked ok and was reasonably priced.but now I like any Ameristep with the vertical corner windows and I dig out the floor a little bit, the vertical shooting window is the way to go especially if your shooting something 64”. Plus it’s smaller so it’s easier to brush in and not as big to hide.

I've hunted with my 66" David Miller bow out of my Hidden Hunter blind with no problem.

I have no issues shooting my longbow in my double bull double wide.  I shoot my bow vertical.

I'm fairly short and shoot 58/60 inch bows so even a 72" tall blind will work for me.  Shorter than that it gets dicey.
