Best Ground Blind for trad?

[molliesmaster]

Looking to see what you guys have had success with for ground blinds/pop up blinds.

I'm not overly concerned with weight, more concerned with height, room to draw, etc.

Thanks

I don't shoot trad but I picked up a Big Mike from Barronett and it should be plenty tall.

Those do look pretty spacious. Thanks!

Hidden Hunter blinds work for longer bows.
Ironically, at one time you could by them from Ron LaClair on his Shrew website.

The Big Mike from Barronett is great. I shot my 62" self bow from it no issues at all.

I just got that blind for christmas but haven't had a chance to shoot from it yet. Are you shooting seated/kneeling?

I was seated on a normal sized blind chair

I've used the Primos Club XL successfully for a variety of hunts. I shoot a 60" recurve while sitting on a 5 gallon bucket. The blind is roughly $100-$150. I've had to replace the poles' hub several times unfortunately. Still a great blind.

Extra advice:
1. only open the windows that you'll need
2. practice shooting through the screens (all fixed broadheads will fly great if your bow is tuned)
3. looking into the sun is preferred because the screens will make you invisible inside
4. if you're looking into the sun make sure to use a black Sharpie marker on the screen - because you'll be able to see through the screen much better when it's blacked out. I just black out a 4"x6" part of every screen.

I second the Hidden Hunter blind. Not only does it have room for limb clearance but it is the only blind I know of that has windows set low enough to the ground so you can take really close shots at turkeys.

How long is your bow? I have one of the Baronette blinds and it just isn't dark enough on the inside in my opinion, turkeys were shying away from it, Dark Horse from primos work better in my opinion and experience! Just have to cant your bow a bit and realize there's certain shots you can't take, but if the birds are animals won't approach, all the room in the world don't matter unless you are claustrophobic!
