Which Ground Blind for a tall guy and a 64" bow?

[Scott E]

The ground blind I currently own wont allow me to shoot a bow longer than 60" and even a 60" bow isnt very maneuverable. It obviously was made for a compound shooter. So what pop up ground blind out there would allow me to shoot a 64" bow or even a 62" bow with ease?

Might try the Double Bull recurve model.

I have 2 Double Bull
Recurve" models . . . they work great with my 60" recurves and 68" longbow.

I have a Double Bull T-5, the regular height model.  I'm 6 ft 3in tall and shoot a 64 inch bow.  I haven't had any trouble shooting in it.  Your setting or kneeling anyway so it's not a problem.

Another vote for the Double Bull recurve model.  I have the Matrix and like it.  They have a newer model now that is like the Matrix on one side and the T-5 on the other, so can be used either way.

First off, I'm sure the Double Bull Blind has tons of advantages and is a good blind to hunt from. If I had private property and the money I might think about getting one.

However....

For the price on that Double Bull Blind, I would rather buy some burlap or canvas and build a blind with some nylon rope and sticks. Then cut some shooting windows into it.  Maybe rig a drop cloth over the top to keep the rain out.

Just my 2 cents,

Ameristep Penthouse works well for me.  I am 6'2" and shoot a 66" longbow.  No problem at all.  It even has room for another hunter.

I also have an Ameristep Penthouse blind and it works for me also.

agree with buckeye. I have a double and like it, quality construction and materials, but build most of own out of natural materials. Pruining saw(sometimes a chainsaw) and a handful of nails or plastic ties and I can usually make one out of deadfalls in 15 to 30 minutes to whatever size. I like to make them where i can shoot sitting or standing if the situation allows.

I didnt even know Double Bull Made a Recurve Model I'll have to check it and the others out. Thanks for the input.

You should check out Lucky's Hunting Blinds there is a link to him off of Chippewae Wedgelock site, he makes a really nice blind to your specs.  Chippeaw is hard to spell

Why not get a set of nippers, a tree step and a length of camo netting to build your own?  A lot lighter, less expensive and arguably equally effective.

I go with this set up. Real inexpensive and works great.

I'm leaning toward some sort of pop-up blind myself.  In my experience, all the best camo makes little if any difference. The critters see movement, not me. I have sat completely still while wearing regular clothes and had deer walk within 15 feet of me. As soon as I twitch,...zoom, they're gone.  I can see real benefit in a blind with a dark interior to conceal movement.

I've got one just like that!  :D

Primos has a couple in the $125-200 category that should be recurve friendly. I think the height is 70".

Ground Max Deluxe is what I have. I am 6'4" and have no problems.

Eastman's makes an inexpensive large pop up blind bought mine at Sam's Club under $130.00 Works great for me. I am 6' 6" 280 lbs and shoot a 66" longbow with no problems. Have a blessed day
