I am needing to get atleast 2 bow blinds for my Hunting with Soldiers program. They each need to fit atleast 2 people. I am not a bow hunter (yet) so I am no expert. Can you guys look in here and make a suggestion on what you would purchase if you were getting a bow blind for yourself: http://gnodirect.com/category.aspx?zcid=175&page=1&size=-1

Probably going to be very very hard to be able to fit 2 people in one and still draw back.
For the money and price and the fact you might be able to squeeze two but doubtful look at the killzone xl's

1st choice - Devastator
2nd - Escape dx

My dad just got a new ground blind that's tall enough to stand up in and shoot out of. Will get info tomorrow if you'd like.

It wasn't in the link, but I am a big fan of the double bull dark horse. Plenty of room and easy to use. Two people can fit.

Also, might look at building a blind.

The shipping crates that were offered here a while back. Speaking from experience, these can sit two grown men

I would buy 5 t-posts and some range wire. I wrap the range wire around the 5 t-posts that I put at the four corners and one about 3 ft. from one of the corners for the door. Overlap at the door and put as many pieces as needed to also cover the top. Then, cover all the wire with cedar/cyprus. Cut a shooting hole in the front and viola, you have a great bow blind.

Mine is large enough for at least 2 people. I have other cedars behind and to the side of my blind, so the deer can't see through. You can put a tarp over the top before the cedar branches, if you want to be out when it is wet. You can also put a tarp behind you on the wire so the deer can't see through the blind if you don't have it covered well enough.

Good luck.

I would get 2 cattle panels made of 4"x4" mesh 5'tall x 20' long. Bend them in a circle. Take 2-4 pieces of 1/2" PVC and make a "x" frame over top of round panel. Then cover the whole top and sides with black plastic. You can buy a piece of burlap or camo material and cover all the plastic with it. You can also just zip tie grass/weeds/brush for natural camo instead of buying material. You can cut small vertical windows were needed, but don't do to many. I would not put a window on back side so you can not be silouted. To enter it just lift it up and crawl under it or roll it on its side. I find it important to keep blind dark inside.

The nature blinds made here in TX are very cool but very pricy at $4k a blind. Maybe you can talk them into a donation?
