Default RE: Ahhhh!!! I did it again!!!



BD,
We're doing an outfitted hunt and the outfitter supplies the ground blinds over a large area at really productive waterholes.
Pretty sure he has the largest style Eastman blinds which I think are 67" center height. 62" would really be pushing it even with some cant I think.
I could probably get away with a 58" comfortably but really wanted to be sure I'm not taking something I can't use out of them.
I don't really like the idea of spot and stalk because my true effective range is probably 18 yards and under. I tried stalking them last time I was out and for me to get 18 yards from a good buck undetected would be about a miracle. We're going first week in September so the rut really won't be kicking in yet and decoys won't really be an option but I appreciate the offer. I know he has some nice small intimate waterholes where they can get under 10 yards while they drink. That's what I'm really hoping for. [:-]

I know I shoot a shorter bow actually pretty well. I can stack arrows with my buddy's Bear Kodiak Mag and it's only 54". I didn't realize that some of the take down models are sensitive at the connection points.

I'll figure something out! Even if it's buying or borrowing some 58" limbs for my Black widow.
I think those extra 4-6" is going to make a big difference in shot opportunities all around the inside of those blinds.
