I have both the T 5 & T 2, I really like them, I have not yet hunted with longbow out of the T 2, how is anticipating getting a 54 " Bob Lee, but I have to test out my Turkey Creek Longbow first. But with the T 5 there's no problem, like others have said he need to use the screen netting, how one window and in the other window, then tuck it behind the rods, the one leave the netting a little loose, for the fluctuation of the arrow, you don't want it is tight as you can get it. And make sure that if you couldn't see 50 yd. you need to branch it in if you can see 100 yd., set out in the open, the chair that Goebel has called the magnum is really comfortable, its 30% bigger and has a padded bar on the back that can be moved up and down for back support,(I have fallen asleep in the chair) I have the first one also. With that chair you can swivel either way right or left, and you can go down on 1 knee easy enough.
The black holes that are created by your T 5 without see camouflage netting, look like predator holes in the forest, when the deer see that they think of coyote or wolf dens, so they split right away, they will not tolerate the black holes. I also take a bottle of capital or a corn scent spray, and spray it about 3 in. away from the edge of the blind, for a scent cover. I pushed the debris inside the brind over the flap that's folded in, that's another way to mask your scent. I like the T 5 because of the zipper top in the roof, I velcro it open about a half-inch in early season, watch how you place it so it doesn't shed light on you. I also were a black mask was just my showing, I wear black clothes on both my hands, and a black stretch T-shirt. Black on black is good. Make sure you said to the back of the blind when you use the four windows on one side. You don't want to silhouette yourself. With traditional bow you can shoot out of the viewing windows.
I have really enjoyed my double bulls. I have light rods and both of them, my T 5 is 13 lbs. and my T 2 is 11 lbs. the main thing is to break up your lines, the roof line is really important to branch in. When you set in the ground in front of you, pop-up one side, it doesn't matter which one, with the rest of the hubs set them right over left, set them in the palm of your hand, and was the other hand, pull the blind, and pushed the hubs out, stand up and pop up the rest of the hubs with your polm. The first time I took my now, and I watch the video number times, I could not get to pop-up, try at a number times at home. Another good thing is if you can spray it down with a UV protector. I use Scent Eracer it's made by home in field.
And like they say they're great for Turkey, and you don't have to use camouflage screening. I just bought a Mr. Buddy heater for mine. I plan to give my try coyote hunting this winter.
Now they just make one for tree stand
