hi im probably getting a bow and i wondered it i could hunt with it from box type ground blinds?

it will look like this but without being elevated
if this wont work what will i need to do?

this isnt my blind just a pic of one i might make mine look like. the one i make wont be elevated either

It's hard to tell if the port is at approx. the right height or not. I have hunted out of my Double Bull ground blinds and it is no problem. The windows are adjustable though.

At worst you might have to modify your shooting port

Some people here in Texas use them, but they run the windows vertically rather than horizontal....I have hunted some of these stands and they work as good as a double bull their just not portable....

I've bowhunted out of box blinds the last three years and killed deer every year. The only difference in my blinds and the one in your pic is ---mine is only 5ft off the ground---And my window looks like yours but I have a 18" wide by 12" drop window with hinges on the bottom, centered on the big window--This allows me to me too have taller shooting window.

i want to hunt gun and bow out of it

Thats is why I built mine with the drop window--when bow season is over I just close the drop window.

Ain't had no problem with that,Though the inside of my blinds are painted black and I wear black--BTW my blinds are 4ft wide and 5ft deep to allow room to sit as far back as I can and still draw without hitting my right elbow on the back wall!
