Well I hope you're all happy...I just ordered one! Tried my old cabelas blind and works only straight forward. New one will work when my dad visits and hopefully next year when my daughter is older.  Just hope it comes this week since heading to the lease this Sat.

54" shrew classic.  Never have to worry about limb clearance much!

I ordered Mon nite and got it today! It's huge! My daughter loves it  :)  good quality too.  I put a small piece of reflective tap on the door zipper for easy and quick access in the mornings.

I'm picking up my feeder on Sat on my way to the lease.  I'll brush it in and have a full month for the deer to get used to it.  Do you guys face one side straight or point a corner straight for more visability? Still tons facing straight and can't wait to try it out.  Perfect when my dad visits too

I'm glad you like it Jay and I face mine with one side straight but it can work any way you want it to.

We also leave the netting up on all of our blinds and shoot through. Been doing it for years and never have any problems.  :D

I have a Double Bull that is tough to shoot from with my 64" Pronghorn.  However, the last two seasons I've taken an antelope from it by unzipping the window on the roof (which I think is meant for shooting a shotgun out of), and planning my shot so my upper limb might poke out of that opening a hair.  

That does lighten up the inside of the blind substantially which may cause some concealment concerns, but if you move slowly with stealth, I haven't had it cause me problems with antelope.  Deer might be another story, but most deer scenarios lend themselves better to natural cover ground blinds anyway.  At least in my area.
