    Ground bow blind build


    Started a new blind couple days ago to replace my popup that the sun dry rotted. It's 5x5 sq. And 6 ft tall. It will sit on a platform that is about 18" off the ground. Window opening is 12". But not sure on length of shooting windows. What y'all think?

    24"- 36" pretty good but important is to have window placement for shooting not to high or low.

      Ok so I have a office chair that I sit on. So should opening be 3ft in length? I was thinking of putting the bottom opening at 30" from bottom

        What are you building it out of?

          Treated. ripped 2x4, then covered with treated picket fence boards. For the inside of blind I am going to cut up and staple on the walls the old pop up material

            Sit your office chair in there, and set a target out at the same distance where your feeder sits.

            Tack some thin paper or saran wrap on the window frame

            Take a few shots with your bow, then make sure your window fits that space.

            That’s how I did mine.

              18" off the ground, sit shooting, think somewhere around 30" from bottom should be good but test it just like ^^ said

                Well guys I got it setup yesterday. It came out ok. Better than what I had before. I blackout the windows and stapled the old pop up material on the inside for an all black look. I didn't have much ground cover so I draped this netting. Blind is about 25ft from my feeder. Thanks for the input guys

                    That looks great. You did a good job. Have you taken anything from it yet?

                      Thanks. Yes my daughter shot a doe with her crossbow last Saturday morning, about a 17 yard shot. It was awesome. Still smiling and thinking about it.
