I have been looking at getting one of these 2 blinds. My question is: Is the Outhouse big enough for bow?? (it seems a bit small to get to full draw comfortably?)
Any advive would be appreciated.

Hey doughboy (a fellow SigEp, I presume!?). I don't think the Outhouse is big enough. I have the Penthouse, and even with that size, you have to be right smack dab in the middle to be able to draw without making any contact w/the blind or your gear/chair/etc.
If I had it to do all over again, I'd probably save up a few extra bucks and go for the Double Bull. The outline of the Penthouse (any Ameristep, I guess) is a little hard to disguise.
Good luck!!

I agree not big enough, you need to make the sacrafice and buy a high end blind if you plan on bowhunting out of it much, if this is your 1st experience with a blind then you might want to get a cheaper one and see if blind hunting is you thing, just my .02

My experience with my Outhouse has been that you can't bow hunt from it , my top limb smacks the top of the blind every time . You can buy a high end blind like a Double Bull first if you want , but for what you'll spend you'd be able to buy a brand new Ameristep of your choice every year for the next 10 years and have beer money to spare . Save your money for more important things .

I have the Outhouse TSC and it is fine for bowhunting out of. It is a little taller than the regular Outhouse and has the scent control and zipper floor. I thought about the Roundhouse 360 TSC but figured I didn't want something too big but it would probably be just fine. The Outhouse TSC is 68" sq x 68" tall and the Roundhouse is 80" x 76" tall. I love mine.
Oops. I posted I had the Outhouse but actually I have the Doghouse. Yes, the Outhouse is definitely too small.
