What do you guys think is the best for trad bows? I need a tall one as I can't shoot short bows because of string pinch with my 30 and change draw. I am basically stuck with 62 inch bows so what do you think?
I haven't hunted out of mine for several years. Mine is an older Double Bull called the recurve model.
Blind are great for in climate weather but I've gravitated to ghillie suits and a good backdrop like a brush pile.
Much more freedom of movement when needed and easier to pick up game moving.
Don, I've shot my 66" Shrew Hill longbow out of my Hidden Hunter blind. Made in America, it's the best IMHO.

I bought a Barronett Big Mike blind for turkey season and had plenty of room to shoot my 60" longbow. I'm 5'10" and can shoot standing with a canted bow. Packs and sets up easily. My only complaint is the carry bag seams were not sewn well and have split.
I shoot my 64" longbows out of my Barronett Big Mike blind with no problems. It is also roomy enough for both of my little ones to tag along too!
Anybody use luckys???
My Double Bull Matrix recurve model is very nice. Hunted out of it for nearly ten years now and still love it. Easy up and easy down, plenty of room, and good window adjustability. Got it when my daughter was 4 and started going turkey hunting with me. She is 13 now, has hunted every year in it with me and has killed 3 birds of her own out of it. I also bought a Blind Hog carrier and that is another awesome product!
Hidden Hunter!! Great blinds :thumbsup: :clapper:
I have not used Lucky's but have talked to them and was told they could make pretty much anything you might need.
I've got a doublebull doublewide. After some getting used to it...(set up that is) I love it.
I also use the Barronett Big Mike.

As far as portable blinds go, I like the Double Bull blind I have. It is still pretty tight, But I can make it work. If I was building a permanent blind I would go with a homemade blind. I have one made out of an old metal water cistern, and several made out of cattle panels covered with "astroturf" carpet from home depot. They are the best and have all the room I need for my 62" and longer bows.

I have a Big Mike blind and it awesome made in USA plenty big enough for my 62" Longbow.
I have a Big Mike also. Very good blind for the money.
I gave up and built a ghillie. I really enjoy it! Not as good in the rain though!
I build my own of brush, etc. Costs me nothing.
I built my own blind out of burlap and rebar for stakes. Easy and cheap. I didn't put a top on it so my 64in does well in it.
When I hunt from the ground I build my own with a piece of camo netting left over from by duck hunting days. It rolls up neatly and I carry a couple of pieces of parachute cord with it, wrapped around the bundle. A few pieces of dead limb, the cord and I am set. You can adjust the height, shape, and size as needed.

I do very much the same with a length of 48" wide see thru camo cloth and a bunch of cloths pins. Sets up anywhere in minutes and weighs near nothing.
Quick and easy to put up for a calling set of cow calls for elk. Can move on to the next set in just a few minutes.
Luckys Tent,
The best made blinds,They are made out of 1000 deneer.Have had mine for over 10 yrs,No problems at all.
