I'd give it a minimum of 2 weeks, more if you can. I tried a popup blind for bow-deer last yr for the first time, seen lots and had does come within 10 yrds. Scent of course is a big thing but also one mistake i made was the rising and setting sun. On a nice sunny morning, right when the deer started coming out the sun got over the tree tops and shined in the blind, it was like a spotlight on me, any movement and busted.
Also, maybe youve already done this with the turkeys, but make sure you shoot your bow out of it a few times. I have some windows in mine that are a bit too high, the sight clears and looks ok, but the arrow won't quite clear the bottom of the window.
