Does anyone have any experience shooting traditional bows (ie a 60" recurve) from an elevated commercial box type blind?

I'm looking to purchase a couple of new blinds and am hoping they can pull double duty for archery season. Specifically, I'm looking at the Redneck brand Predator 360 5x6 blinds on 10' elevated stands. They show 80" of ceiling height, and with the 48" H corner windows they look like they will accommodate traditional equipment.

Nearest dealer is several hours away- I appreciate any first hand insight.

Am also, interested in some pertinent feedback.

An very expensive endeavor....Was evaluating placing a Millennium mounted shooting house over next year's projected 3 1/2 acre new alfalfa food plot. The whole Millennium setup is less than the Muddy tower. While the Millennium is a soft shell, I was investigating the possibility of coating the soft shell with a do-it-yourself bed liner coating...could save over $2000 if successful.

One of the Millennium's is already mounted on the tower approximately 35"s away. Will be taking a 62" bow there to test it out.

I've hunted out of them on some exotic ranches and they had plenty of clearance if you shoot sitting.   An adjustable (for height) office type chair with no arms is helpful as floor clearance is a consideration as well when elevated and shooting at that much angle.  I hunt out of Krivoman and Maverick blinds on our ranch but we have 6' platforms.  Plenty of clearance in them as well.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.
