I use the doghouse and I shoot a 58" longbow and a recurve. But it is tight.

I have the "Predator Den" by Primos......don't know if it's the best, but at 70" square and 77" tall, it's great for when my daughter wants to go hunting with me and my 60" MOAB longbow.....

Predator Den here as well. If I shoot without a chair I can sorta use my 66" longbow. However I like a fold out stool so I bought a 52" Bear Kodiak Mag. I can use a chair and still have room to spare with that bow.

i hunted once for wyoming antelope in a goodly sized double blind and though it was tight, it would have worked with my 62" longbow had i been a bit more careful ... WHACK!!! ... the longbow's top limb just grazed the blind top as i watched the arrow sail over the back of a nice 'lope. personally, i wouldn't use a bow longer than 58" in any blind - just good insurance against making stupid mistakes.

Another vote for the Ameristep "Penthouse" blind which is 78"x90". No problems shooting out of it, sitting on a stool, with my 66" recurves.

Hidden Hunter blinds are made in the USA. It is 6X6 and I have shot a 64" longbow in it with mo problems. The greatest feature about the HH is that you won't find a blind that is quicker to set up and take down.
Watch the video demo on this link. The first blind shown is their 5X5 blind that is recommend for gun hunters, the 6X6 is shown later in the clip.

I've tried several different blinds and my vote is for the Hidden Hunter. Like Ron says, EASY to set up and fast. NO problem with limb clearance with my 62" longbow.
I am a 54 yo woman and if it's easy for me to set up, it is EASY to set up!

ameristep harvester. I got one this summer and have hunted out of it several times this year. Easy to set up and take down. Plenty of room to shoot. I think it is 6'7" tall.I shoot a 62" recurve no problem.

I've never hunted from one of these tent type ground blinds but with a 5 1/2 year old son I'm thinking of getting one. I have no problems shooting while sitting down. Maybe it will be a good excuse for buying one of those 50th anniversary Bear Kodiak's. Humm......
