Default Archery blind

Any good recommendations for a ground blind to use for archery. Users would be 6 foot tall.

Been looking at the brick house seems to be a decent blind with replaceable shoot through windows .

A member has a hay bale blind for sale in the buy sell here.
But fair warning, there looks to be a naked fellow inside, ha.

Primos Double Bull. Lots of room, 360 degree shooting pretty much.

I cant stand being in a blind that I can not stand up comfortably and shoot...although most were made to shoot sitting down in a chair...standing will bring bow higher and there has been many a bowhunter with shots ruined by bow limb hitting ceiling or arrow bouncing off window frames of blinds...

I am only 5'9" and still have to dig a hole to stand in most ...lol



Ameristep many a few that are in that 6ft range ...
one being the Ameristep's "Penthouse" which is 78" wide and a generous 90" high.


The Bone collector is also 6'4"

BigGame Treestands Escape Deluxe and Escape Pro. They "only" go up to 6' 3" or 75 inches.

Another is the Barronett Big Mike Ground Blind 75" x 75" x 80" or 6'8"


The Hub style can cost three times more but a whiz to set up and take down...some of the Pop-up styles are easy to set set as basically you just toss it and its up....the real challange is getting it broke back down with fancy twists....nothing funnier than seeing a bowhunter at dark coming back to camp trying to tote a six foot circle of a blind...

I have the Bone Collector, the Brickhouse and the Caretaker blinds.

The BC and BH are nice and wide for shooting, although they are only 6' high in the center. I am 6'1" and cannot stand up in either of them. The Caretaker is a gun blind as there is very little room to draw in.

I shoot from a chair in the blind, so the height is not that important, width is more important to me.

Cheers
