Large Ground Blind
« on: May 20, 2011, 12:42:00 PM »
I would like any suggestions on a larger ground blind.  I am looking for a blind that I can shoot a 66" longbow out of and hunt with my 8 yoa daughter.  Does anyone know if there is enough room in the ameristep brickhouse?  Any experience with this blind?

Try the penthouse, have bowhunted with 2 adults in it and still had room to take a nap!! Also checkout the Yukon Track series.

I have the Yukon Tracks Enforcer and it is more than adequate for a longbow.  It is taller than the recurve version of the double bull.  Very roomy, and also economical.

I just picked up an Ameristep Penthouse blind.  It's 90" tall.  Not a bad blind at all/.  I am pleased.  Pretty reasonable price to.

Chad Weaver (LBR here) has an inexpensive, roomy blind. It's well under $200 delivered. I bought one, and it looks good to me.

I bought a Barronett blind; Snake Eyes, and I really like it.  Plenty of room to shoot your longbow and for your daughter and the window options are great.

I have a Primos Ground Max and I can shoot my 62" R/D longbow in a vertical position while sitting.

I hate the door zipper and just leave it open slightly and use it as my main shooting window.

I use a Brickhouse. I`ve only had it a few years and killed 4 Turkeys out of it. 3 with a Howard Hill Longbow 66" long. I took my Buddy Chris Spikes hunting and he killed a Turkey with his recurve with both of us in the blind.Heck of a good blind for the money.I also shoot through the nets.RC

I have the Ameristep Bighouse, It's 7' tall, and is big enough to camp in. You can put a cot in it if you want to. It's also a hub style blind.

The Yukon tracks enforcer elite  is a great blind, it's a lot bigger & cheaper than the DB recurve model that I had before it. Mine is the backlands west camo.

I have a hidden hunter blind.  That is one that will fit your needs.  Stand up to snow and ice better then any of the center hub blinds that I have had.
