Best blind for bowhunting?
What do you guys use that has plenty of room for pulling back? And do you shoot with both eyes open? I have watched the guys on tv shot with one eye and two eyes, I was just wondering what to do!

RE: Best blind for bowhunting?
Is the eye question only with respect to in-blind hunting?? I'm assuming its a general question. I'm a 1 eyed shooter for sure, next season I might buy those special peeps that allow you to use both eyes.(simply b/c my dominant eye is worse at long range than the other) If you're set up to use 1 eye, like with a standard peep and that's what you're used to then I would stick with it for the remainder of this season at least.
Also, try your hunting blind IN STORE. I had to go back twice b/c my blinds weren't long enough to draw back in (even two man blinds). Just measure yourself out including elbow and broadhead while factoring in that when drawing, you often need 6'' on both sides b/c you never know if you might jerk slightly each way when the time comes. Since the last thing you want to do is bang your elbow or broadhead against the blind during crunch time.

Definetly 2 eyes! started using 2 eyes about 5 years ago and has drastically helped my shooting on the 3D range and in the field. I would recommend anybody to shoot with2 eyes

I've owned several different brands of Blinds including Double Bull models T5, T2, Matrix, & the new Dark Horse.
The New Dark Horse is hands down the best Blind I've ever hunted out of, and well worth the $$ if you are planning to keep it long term.
