Title: Recommendations for pop up blind bow?
Post by: threeunder on October 07, 2011, 11:18:00 PM

I'm looking for a longbow that is short enough to allow use out of a pop up blind. Any recommendations?
I'm relatively new (4 years) to the longbow. The only two I have both measure at 64" so looking for something considerably shorter, but is fairly easy for a "newb" to shoot.

Thanks
Ken

I had a Kohannah Fury that was 60" that was a smooth shooter for a relatively short longbow...
I'm sure others will chime in with some even shorter that are smooth as well.

I just traded for a 56" Hill Country T/D LB....perfect for a blind bow and very fast.

How big is the pop up?
Like Sal said, a Shrew will shoot out of most any blind. I shoot my Classic Hunter out of one of those little doghouse blinds.

I needed a new blind this year and bought an amerstep harvester. No need for a shorter bow. It is 6'7" at the center. I shoot a 58"recurve and can shoot standing. I think it cost $169. just a thought however it is always nice to get a new bow.

fwiw, i found out the hard way that a 62" longbow was too long for a db blind ....

Lee Hoot's makes both a short longbow and recurve that are perfect for a groundblind!

Shrew Classic Hunters are among the best for a light, handy, short blind bow, but a relatively short Morrison, Hoots, Big Jim Thunderchild, or various other similar bows would work very well too.

Get a Shrew.....or just get a "Big Mike" blind and shoot the bow you have.......

Personally Id just get both the Shrew and the new blind.

Just a quick chime as it's been partially mentioned already. Barronett now makes 2 blinds w/80" height and one with 84". Might be a more viable option, but new bows are hard to beat.

The Barronett "Big Mike" blind 80" tall, and sells for about $150, probably not as much fun as a new bow, but more than likely cheaper. Jim Neaves at Centaur makes an awesome Longbow, and I believe he makes them down to 56", but the wait is 10-12 months, unless you could find one for sale in the classifieds.

Look up Don Dow Styk bows. Great little bows for the money and his turn around time is just a few weeks. I have a 54" longbow and it is a shooter. Half the price as many of the bows mentioned.
