Double Bull blinds and longbows
Does anyone here hunt from a double bull blind with their recurve or longbow? I just ordered a T5 Prostaff - I have a 62" longbow and wonder if I should have spent the extra cash for the recurve model - it say for recurve and longbows over 66" Looking forward to taking the kids out with me in the blind and this looks like a great option -

I couldn't say with that one. I have the Ameristep Penthouse, and It's big enough for me, my 66" longbow, my son, and his recurve. I'm 6'2" or better and 300+ lbs, my son is 5' or better and 140+ lbs.

I have a small folding chair that I use. I can shoot from it, kneeling, or from a bucket. I'm a bit too tall to shoot standing up in it with the 66" longbow.

RE: Double Bull blinds and longbows
Hello
I hunted last year from a double bull blind with my 65" longbow. I have the double bull in the taller recurve verison. I shot from the sitting position from a small stool. I don't think the upper limb hitting the roof is as much of a problem as the lower limb hitting the ground. I would suggest practicing from it and slanting the bow.
That said I believe once you shoot longer bows you are just more aware of changing positions when in more cramped areas. When the turkey comes in, the length of your bow just makes another challenge. By the way, it was a challenge that I failed, I missed the turkey.
Good Luck Hunting
