I have the outhouse and the double troubles and can't even draw back in them without hitting the walls. And I'm 5'5!!!
Anyone else have this problem?

You have to buy a bigger blind to bow hunt out of.

I have a Vision 360. One at least 5' across and high is a must for me.

I have a cpuple of Double Bull T2 blinds and they said same thing. But to draw without hitting baclaide, had to cut screen netting, stick arrow outside of blind and then draw.

they need to be 70"+ across to be real comfortable to draw in, but you still may have to stick the arrow out of the window before you draw. i have this one, the brickhouse, and i can draw in it without hitting and with plenty of room, and i am 6' w/ 29" draw...it was on sale for $79 last summer. http://www.basspro.com/Ameristep-Brickhouse-Ground-Blind/product/10213298/

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

In the vision I can sit in the back and draw inside, no hitting blind, not movement to be seen. Bigger is more expensive, but it works.

Sit in it diagonally.
I have a Double Bull Dark Horse. It is pretty roomy. It was money well spent.
When I build an archery blind, I make them at least 6' deep so I can draw. I shoot with a 12" stabilizer too, and everything fits.

I have 2 different Primos blinds and I can shoot out of both of them without hitting anything. I'm 6'4 too so that's saying something about the bind!!

Call Primos and see what they have on hand for refurbished blinds. I got the XLClub delivered to my house for 105. It's a great deal

I have the Brickhouse and don't have any problem drawing or shooting out of it. The windows are smaller than I like but give me great concealment. I shot a doe this fall at less than 20 feet and she never saw or heard me and I wasn't brushed in at all. They aren't the biggest you can buy, but it has worked for me for 3 years and I leave it up from September to January.
I'd be a vegitarian too if bacon grew on trees.
