You say that and I'd bet a solid $100 you've have the ladder ripped off before you got it set anywhere rofl Should've used something that folded for the more off road crowd such as yourself wink

8X8 for the win for me. Cheap walmart couch and solar. Makes it more enjoyable for the girlfriend and 5 y/o. She can nap in the early mornings and wake her up for the action.


Just doing it for fun now.

Is the 20 lb propane bottle safe on the inside? I was thinking it needed to be outside.

Red chevy is right. The Atacosa windows are terrible. They make too much noise to open. I have a 5x7 with the 4 foot wide windows. I have to block off part of the windows to keep from being silhouetted.

When I've hunted 4x6 blinds I was constantly moving from one end to the other. I like to digiscope so moving the scope was a pain.

I've been in quite a few different sizes and my main blind now is a 4x6. It's fairly comfortable with 2 office chairs. For long sits, you have to turn sideways to stretch out. I'm planning to build an 8x6 sometime this year to be able to take both kids with me. I'm thinking an 8x8 base with a 6x8 box, leaving a 2' porch in the back.

with the costs of materials these days, you might have to take out a 2nd mortgage to finance that build loser8

4 x 4 is just to small for me, 6 x 6 to big. Now days most of mine are around 4 1/2ft x 4 1/2 ft. Built many over the years, some i like and some i didn't.
Thinking about a couple new ones this year, most likely stick with 4 1/2ft x 4 1/2ft with a little build out where i can straighten my legs from time to time.
Like a boot shape looking at it from the side. I like mine built where i can rest my rifle on the window ledge without needing to roll my chair from side to
side to shoot. Will sketch it up in Solidworks, laser cut some parts and get to welding this summer.

Me as well. 54" sq is perfect. These are shooting platforms we are building to conceal and keep us out of the weather. [Linked Image]

An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.
