Does anyone use a traditional bow from a pop up blind?
Yep!
Yes...I got one for my wife and me.
A Primos Double Bull Blind - Recurve model....it has extra roon for moving my 62" SilverTip around. Built very well and when the wind is howling and the wind chill is 16 degrees...it's worth it's weight in Gold!
Do you have to kneel when shooting?
Not if you buy one tall enough!
I love 'em--I haven't even taken my tree-stand out this season, and don't plan to.
I have some that are big enough for me to shoot my 66" longbow from--either sitting, or standing (but I have to squat some). I'm 6'3", and 300+ lbs. They set up or take-down in less than a minute (minus staking it down). I only have a few left though. For less than $150, I haven't found anything that can touch them.

Do you find it difficult to shoot out of the little windows?
No, but I do suggest practicing from it before going hunting. The biggest change I've found when shooting from a blind is it can mess with your depth perception. I have shot a red fox at 22 steps (20-25 yds.) and a small squirrel (maybe 5 yds) from one of mine (and a few deer).

Thumbs up on the depth perception! I can shoot sitting rather than kneeling.
Great for taking your grandson hunting with you. Plenty of room for him and my 66" longbow.

Why do you think that you have to have a blind with small windows??
We have killed a bunch of animals out of are blinds windows open, windows closed dosen't matter to much but we keep them up so we can move around inside not get busted.
These two blinds are 90"x90"w and 80"T plenty of room for the whole gang and I can stand up and shoot a 66" longbow or sit down and shoot too.

Both blinds are around a 100$ too.

I have a blind similar to the one pictured.I shoot a 60" bow with no trouble. Need to practice shooting from it. I had trouble shooting through the
shoot through windows so I cut holes in them. I've noticed that blinds are getting cheaper in price. I bought mine from Cabelas for 300.00 back in 2006.I saw one at Dunams sporting goods last year for 100.00.
I took an 8 point and a doe out of my pop up blind this year.
I have a Yukon Tracks Enforcer Elite it's a great blind with pleanty of room.
How many of you guys brush in the blinds when hunting deer? I have an older DB Recurve model but have hardly used it. I'd like to use it the rest of january if I could pop it up and hunt the same sit?? Thanks for the help.
A couple things I've done. With Double Bull blind, I sent it back to factory and had them install the big corner windows in it which I think make it better for the trad guy than shooting out the narrow windows.
Second thing I sometimes need to do is dig a square hole in the middle of the floor of the blind, maybe 6" down in to the dirt, to make limb clearance less of an issue in the smaller blinds.
I just got my first one this year for christmas from my dad
hunting christmases are the best! Il see if I can post the pictures of it set up under the Christmas tree in the living room
I did not know about the yukon blinds these seem to be water proof? - they look like the deal. Got to get a blind before spring turkeys come around.

I hunt out of Doubl Bull Matrix. I shoot a Great Plains SR Swift, 60", without any difficulties.
I brush mine in leave it out most of the season.
I use pop ups for hunting and usually kneel for shooting , they work great !!!!!
