What are some of the ground blinds/ pop ups, that THF archers use to hunt out of. Looking for one large enough for 2 people and with windows conducive to archery shooting. I have a promos and ameristep one, but the windows don't give much shooting range of motion. Also, what our people's experience with shooting THRU the mesh windows as they are advertised? Does this not deflect arrow flight? I will
Be using fixed broad heads and shooting from 10-45 yards potentially.

I use the double bull and really like it. Plenty of room and big window. There are a few on here that like the rhino. It is built just like the double bull and about half the price. Buckrage has one, hopefully he can chime in for you.

I have tried many of the other Primos and Ameristeps but wasn't impressed with view or shooting options.

Personally, I don't like the net and wouldn't shoot through it. Just wouldn't want to have one more thing that could go wrong.

I have a Primos 360 Vision I like really well. Dropping $400 on a pop up like a Double Bull is not an option for me right now. After I win the lottery now . . .


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

We use whatever is on sale/whatever is a good deal at the time. Sometimes you end up with a blind that you end up not loving, but if you're going for mid-range pricing, most of them are similar. Just don't go "size-cheap". Tiny popup blinds are the worst.

for archery you cant beat the corner windows IMO, I bought one similar to this:

http://ads.midwayusa.com/product/761672/...-_-pf_ci_google

last year, for $100, and love it, although I think mine has corner windows that are a little longer than that one. it is plenty big for two people.

I would love to have a double bull or baronet but this one was more in my price range and works well.

I only use double bulls and have shot dozens upon dozens of animals through the net. In fact I put the net on my box blind windows that I build. I rarely hunt from trees and most every animal I have shot in the last ten years has been on the ground through the net. Killed six deer turkey pigs last year with a bow and all were from the ground through a net.

I've shot a deer through the net before with no problem. I shot a turkey through the side of the blind on accident and the shot still went straight. I do prefer to shoot through an open window though. The netting can make for some bad glare when the sun is rising and setting.

Double bull through the net no problems. As always shoot a practice shot through it with your set up first you want to be confident that it flies through true through the mesh.

I agree, I've tried a Primos, an ameristep and another bass pro brand type and i have 3 double bulls and would never go back, much detail went into the design of these blinds.
