Yes and absolutly love it!!  we have had turkeys rub against blind as they are coming in and have guided and shot many turkeys with bows at under 5 yards!!  Requires a little more homework and scouting for set up, but being able to move and draw without them seeing you is GREAT!

Shot my first turkey from a Double Bull from 8 yards. Also got a whitetail buck from one last fall.

Yup! Been using them for over 15yrs and before that a friend of mine and I made a blind out of camo burlap with a PVC frame that we used for turkey hunting.

They make it a lot easier to keep hunting when the weather is rainy and cold.

You bet Double Bull T5recurve model!  Great for turkey hunting!  I've moved to using a gillie for deer more often than a blind, but for turkey a blind is great.  Where else can you spend bewteen sunrise and sundown and not be seen

Yes! blinds are great!  its a great way to kill a turkey. the good thing about blinds and turkeys are you can put the up while you are hunting and the turkeys dont even look at them. Deer have to get confortable with blinds. but not turkeys!! pop them up and hunt

Do you have to pull the screen and shoot through it or can you leave the windows open?

I love to turkey hunt out of a pop up blind. I also leave the windows in the front open, but the back windows I close up. That way the back is blacked out.

With screen up you have to be concerned with clothing and white face.

A waste of time to hunt without them.
