Mark, i have one, yes it is that big! Me and two buddies can both stand up and shoot our long bows, recurves inside them. Natchez shooters supply, Natchezss.com, has them for 139.99+ shipping. I am 5'9" tall, weigh 275, dont know if that qualifies as a big gu or not. LOL. Sam.

Agreed! It's definitely huge, as blinds go. You biggest obstacle will be getting through the "door" smoothly. Once inside, you'll be fine.
p.s. Brush it in real good!

Mark,
Your biggest problem with the Penthouse blind would be taking it down when you are ready to move it. Due to its design, it is not the easiest blind to take down. A blind with a hub system would be much easier. Eastman has some blinds that are large that would work for you. And I wouldn't worry about driving through the door if you would be taking the ATV inside the blind with you. I would life one side of the blind up and drive under it.

Mark, I have not used the penthouse, but have the double bull. I am 5'10 275, and my two buddies were in the blind with me when I shot my first deer. One guy is 5'10 240, the other was 5'10 225. We had plenty of room for three chairs and two video camera's one tri-pod, two backpacks and three bows.

Mark, You might try a Ground Max Deluxe. They're real big and owned by Primos now so customer service should be great!

Have you seen the blinds Bob Morrison has on his website? They are very nice, inexpensive, big, and the entire back is a big, zippered flap that completely opens up and would let you drive your wheelchair right it without having to raise up the entire blind. They are even listed as wheelchair accessible. If you are interested, don't wait, because last I checked there were only 2 left. Bob Morrison had a special buy on the blinds and is selling what he got at a special "clearance" price. I bought one and have it on its way, so I cannot give you a review yet.
