Title: Hidden Hunter Blind and 68" longbow
Post by: AlanF on January 10, 2013, 11:02:00 AM
Has anyone hunted out of the 6x6 Hidden Hunter blind with a 68" longbow?  If so would there be room if my kid was in the blind with me?  I'm needing a blind and want to buy American made.  Thanks.

I've read the post and it does not mention shooting a 68" bow and I didn't want to get his tread off track with my question.

Glad you posted this I have the exact same question.  All my bows are 68" longbows and I to have been looking at the 6x6 Hidden Hunter blind wondering if it would work.

It's tight for me with a 66" bow. You have to be set up just right inside with your back against the back of the blind. I'm sure you could get use to it.  But I like how it sets up quick and easy to carry.

Like CJ, I've shot my 66" out of it and it is snug, I draw 29.5" so I use the whole blind front to back. Didnt want to risk a hole in it so I didnt try my 68"

I know Ron LaClair was shooting his 66" bow out of his.

Do you guys shooting your 66" bows use much cant or hold the bow more vertical?

Maybe Ron or someone can talk them into making a 7x7?

In this blind I find you need to be more vertical and less cant or you hit the side of the blind
