Default Ground blind selection?

I am looking for a ground blind for deer and turkey, both archery and firearms. I will be woods hunting here in Missouri and would like a blind big enough for two folks. I am a large specimen (6'5", 300lbs.) and because of physical limitations I will need sit for long periods. What say you? Thanks...
p.s.
Which chair do you use?

Do you want a hard side or pop up style? I found this blind called the blind turtle and it is 6 feet round. One piece plastic. They say it weights about 135 pounds.

I just got the Double Bull Crusher blind and it seem enormous. I am leaning towards getting the double bull stool. Sat in one and it's comfy.

save yourself some money, go to Wal-Mart and get a folding chair with no arm rests, $20, I have used mine for 3 years and I can sit all day. and they come in OD green.

Exactly, the soccer mom camp style chairs with no arms are perfect. Ive had mine for several years and can sit sun up to sun down

I have had 7 different blinds. I bow and gun hunt out of them sometimes with 2 people.
My experience is that the hub style blind is best especially when trying to fit 2 bow hunters. I prefer one that has a 72" width. I have on that is 60" width that is barely usable for bow with 1 person.
a blind that is OK in quality (not the best but mine is 5 years old) is an Ameristep Brickhouse. I have 2 of these.

For gun, many of the blinds with work more easily. Not a big fan of the Doghouse style blinds but are OK for gun hunting. I own one but it doesnt get too much use any longer
