This pop up is at Academy on clearance and was wondering if anyone has used one. I am looking to get a pop-up for bow hunting this year and don't want to spend alot since I might not like hunting out of one. Any opinions or recommendations?

I bought one for $75 on saless regular $120. Not bad for the price. We could fit three. They do the job and you can set it up in 2 min and take it down just as fast. They are portable and can try out new places. Draw backs are they don't muffle sound and it's as cold inside as it is out.

Thinking about using one for bow hunting and wanted to get something that if I didn't like it I was out a bunch of money. However, might have to rethink that due to the sound issue.

I have one, it's what you get for the money. That being said, I've shot things out of it with two people in it. It blocks more wind than a climbing stand does. There is enough room where one person won't touch the sides
I never left it out more than a night or two.

Not sure which one you are looking at but make sure it is large enough to draw and let an arrow back down from full draw. I bought one from walmart to bow hunt out of and it just didn't work. I bought a large primos square pop up and it works great. The chair you use for bow hunting is very important too.

THE ONE I HAD STAYED OUT FROM THE LAST OF AUGUST UNTIL JANUARY WHEN THE SEASON WAS OVER. NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN NOT STAKING IT OUT WITH PROPER STAKES. AND TAKE THE ROOF POLES OUT WHEN YOU LEAVE IT OUT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD AND PUT EM BACK IN WHEN YOU COME BACK.(LIKE LEAVING ON SUNDAY AND COMING BACK NEXT WEEK)
