I need a 2 person blind...anyone using one to recommend?
 
I need a two person blind that will comfortably allow me and my 13 year old step son to sit with our bows.

Anyone using a good one that they can recommend?

I would have to agree with deputy, double bull, a little pricey but worth the money.

Thank you gentlemen, I appreciate the input. I do like the Double Bull's, also found a Cabela's brand blind that looks interesting. I'm going to pull up the keystone site and checkout the deal Nubo mentioned.

Again, thanks!

Is 5' by 5' really enough space for two people?

Ameristep Penthouse works for me![8D]

I use the penthouse and other than the lousy printing of the tangle camo its a great blind. At 6' tall myself and my 6'4 buddy have enough room to stand and maneuver. I use a old lazy boy in when I use for gun hunting enough room to fully recline. Course that wreaks havoc on my awareness.:)

Just got my brickhouse TSC - although I would prefer to call it another type of house[:@]! Got it in the mail today from Cabelas and set it up in the yard this afternoon. I started opening windows from the outside and the thing starts collapsing before I even enter it! One of the corner support straps was popped, and on examination of the 3 others - 2 were about to become un-stitched. Not impressed at all with the quality here - will be sending it back tomorrow for one more try[:'(]!

The new Bighouse by Ameristep is worth looking at.:D

I just bought the Ameristep Outhouse. It is definitely big enough for two people and its only about 65 bucks. Plus its extremely easy to setup and take down.

I have one too ,
and it would be somewhat cramped for 2 hunters , especially bow hunters . For a solo hunter like me it's excellent . BTW , Sportsman's Guide has them all the time for $40 .

They are a smaller blind but (not trying to start a fight) I think two people would fit comfortably in them. But that is also just guessing, I have never actually had two bowhunters in one yet.

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 ... ;)
