Relax Mic , no feathers ruffled . 
I've had 2 gun hunters in mine before , and it was a bit close in there . Might just be me though , I like to have some elbow room . Somehow I couldn't see 2 bow hunters being comfortable in there unless they were pretty small framed . You also have to think about that pyramidal shape , you lose headroom pretty fast compared to a more rounded blind shape . Even a solo bow hunter would practically have to take nothing but seated shots because of this as well . With the newer models you also have to consider the shoot through mesh when bowhunting , it forces the archer to sit back more toward the back of the blind to avoid poking the mesh with the broadhead between shots . A snarled broadhead at full draw is a rather unforgiving thing , especially when 2 of you are cramped for shooting room . [&:]
For solo hunters the teepee shaped blinds are excellent . They pack easily , fit in tight spots where round blinds won't fit , and provide great breakup . I've had mine for 4 years now , and it's hard to imagine going out without it . Another configuration to consider would be the open top style blinds . They are generally inexpensive , can be easily homemade with some camo net or fabric , and you don't have to worry about headroom for a bow shot . A homemade version can also be easily customized to match changing conditions .

I'm going to be purchasing the doghouse soon and I was wondering what kind of chairs work best. I have one of those camp chairs with armrest, but I think for bow hunting I might pick up one w/o armrest for $7 at walmart. Would that work well? Also how do you carry out your bow, chair, and blind all together?

I have a folding stool with a backrest and underside game pouch that I use in mine , and I'm getting a similar one with a rifle rest from Sportsman's Guide for my wife so that she can prop up her crossbow when she goes out with me this year . She can't hold one up for very long due to her disability , so the rifle rest will help a lot . An armless chair style will work well in the roomy confines of a Doghouse or similar model . The lounge models with footrest would be pushing it . Also stay away from anything labeled Lazyboy or Barcalounger ...
