Bow Blind Front Design

[offthemap]

I've been skimming the bow blind builds on here for a week or so now and I've noticed a lot of people do the semi-octagon build in the front with three windows, however, I've also seen a few guys that just do a flat front with 3-4 vertical windows....

So what says it green screen, better to have the semi-octagon or will flat front work just as well?


I'm thinking about building a box blind as one of the spots I have has a terrible swirling wind and deer diverge on this feeder from all angles so I'm hoping a box blind will knock down my scent a little more. I really only have one angle to shoot from where I would put the blind which is straight out front to the feeder so I'm thinking I could get away with the flat front and 3-4 windows.

I'm going with a 3 sided, hex-style front on the blinds I'm gonna build.

6' wide (for her viewing pleasure) x 5' deep with a 3 sided front so it'll actually be closer to 6'x6' max dimensions.

I'll help you build this rig if you'll help me build mine! Still thinking I'm going to try metal studs, skin it with some R-panel or thin sheet that's not already broke, then haul it to a job site and have closed cell foam sprayed inside to seal it up good. Also thinking about re-purposing my old red trailer to put under one of them.

I built mine with the bay window design. To me it gives you a little better field of vision and a larger field of shooting opportunities vs. the standard 4 sided box blind.

Didn't you skin this blind with some heavy duty rubber? A pool liner or something like that? Are you still happy with it?

If you dont mind me asking,,, where did you find those brackets you have on the legs of that stand? Thanks! Cool stand!

They are called Elevator Brackets. You can get them many places online. I know Academy sells them too.

Yep. Heavy duty Rubber Roofing material. Its still in perfect condition. Water tight, bug-proof.

I plan to build another one just like this one.

I work in the commercial construction field so I have connections with several roofers in Houston. The roofer we had on the last project of mine let me have the roll. Each roll is worth well over $500. 10' wide x 100' long. Not cheap or easy to get unless you know someone.
