Bought the Grounder 350 this year, have used it a lot.
Lots of room for 2 and all of our stuff, great quality.
Easy to set up.
Have enjoyed hunting from the ground instead of a treestand this year.

I have a 250 and the 350. three each. Plenty of room in each for a longbow. I have picked up two of the 350 at Dunham's for $110 on sale recently. To me anyway they are the best blind for the money. Absolutely love the 350 for two people and the 250 is perfect for a single person. Easy set up and I love the height.

Good question.  I am looking at a Big Mike blind now.  Seems like jus the ticket when shooting longbows as it has extra height.
Any of you shoot the Big Mike Barronett?

I'm also interested in the Big Mike for longbow hunting if anyone has any experience with it and would like to share.

I have the huge xl big mikes and it has enough room to raise a small family of four in... I use it for turkey hunting and boy was it a great blind! I think I paid 100 bucks shipped on one of those Auction sites! I took my father turkey hunting a few times in it and at his age a reclining fold out chair made for a comfortable sit for him for almost 4 hours! Love my blinds and will purchase another in the near future!

I bought the 350, plenty of room to shoot a 66" longbow. A ton of room and I can throw it up and brush it in in minutes.
If you find yourself in a fair fight? Your tactics suck!

Good thread. Thinking the same thing, as I shoot Hills....long ones! I spoke with a guy at Cabelas who uses one for the same reason....the 80" height. Said he took a turkey out of his this year with his longow, and loves it.

Thanks everyone,I just ordered the Big Mike.I like the height and the way the windows,are laidout. Will be used for deer hunting.

I bought one last year and used my 62" long bow out of it. The only problem I had was the window needed to come down a little more. I just had to pick the way I set it up. If I had a little up hill shot It worked good, but If it was a little down hill shot I was in the nomans land between setting and standing. I didn't care for the pack that came with it so I bought another pack that worked real well. Over all it works good I personally just have to set it up right.

I'm appreciating this thread. Ive been contemplating one (or two) for next season since the budget this year won't allow it.
Thanks for the info and reviews!
