Title: Ground blinds
Post by: SCS on January 08, 2015, 09:28:00 AM
Who uses 'em, and what's a decent one for shooting a 60" bow out of?

I use the older double bull. If I didnt have it I would invest in a Hidden Hunter.

I hunt with a 60" recurve out of my Primos Predator Ground Max blind. For the price, it was hard to beat. About $100 on sale.

I have an ameristep hub blind.used for turkey hunting and deer hunting the past few yrs and it's held up well for a cheap blind. I have only shot one deer out of it with a wheel bow. Haven't used it much with my 62in recurve

Check out Baronett blinds. They have several taller ones

I use brush blinds. They give better overhead clearance for my upper bow limb. Besides, they are a lot cheaper.

Im thinking of getting one.
Never used one before but with nasty weather and old bones I thought it may help.
Look at the big mike blinds.
Very tall.

You might want to check out the new Primos Shack Attack
Blind. It's a remake of an older style, two hub blind. A lot lighter
Because only use two hubs, kind of looks like a pup tent, has a very high center so you can shoot a long, long bow out of it.
Has a much smaller footprint because of design, easier to hide. I have one and am very impressed.

I go with the natural ground blind. Easier to move locations if needed and no troubles for my 70" longbow

I don't think you'd go wrong with a Barronett blind.  I have the 350 and Big Mike's.  Both are great (80" height) but I like the Big Mike's a little better because of the windows.  The windows in the 350 are pretty high, but the problem is easily solved with a bar stool.  Very well constructed hub blinds.

I second Bernie, I have several and all have good points and bad points but for the money Barronett's big mike is probably best.

Hidden hunter is the way to go.

I've got a hidden hunter blind and like it a lot. It goes up and comes down very quickly.

The biggest problem I've found with most blinds, is that the bottom of the windows are too high to allow close shots for turkey hunting.

Big Mike. Corner window zip way low for turkeys or setting up on ridge tops they work great !! I own 3.  68 inch Longview no problem.
