I don't know if this has been posted before. But anyone got recommendations on what type of ground blind to use for bow hunting. im new at bow hunting and prefer to stand when drawing back



The only reason i work, is so that i could afford to hunt.

Popups are all that we use. As far as standing, the Big House may be tall enough, not sure

pop ups are good you just have to make sure and get a good size one, takes a lot of room to draw back.......i've built the carpet blind and they work great..... theres probably some old threads about the carpet blinds ....do a search and see what comes up....
i'll see if i have pictures of mine but i think i deleted them already

I have two Gorilla popups from Academy that work pretty well.

Learn to "stand up" from your knees. I shoot a traditional bow (recurve) and improvise that way or shoot sitting in a swivel chair, where I turn and draw properly.

Or learn how to shoot sitting down.

if you get a "cheap" blind,be sure it has "windows"
in the corners if square

and learn to shoot sitting down. . .you should practice
that anyway regardless of sitting in a blind,in a hang-on
stand,etc. just like you should practice with your firearm
offhand,benched,prone,kneeling,etc.

I use pop-ups.

I agree you really need to teach yourself how to shoot sitting and kneeling. Standing as you normally do while practicing usually never happens.

I prefer to shoot sitting down and am more stable this way.

If you don't like to shoot anyway, but standing you've got the bow poundage too high. Turn it down. No need to shoot 70lbs. 60lbs is more than suffice.
