      Octagon Blind ???

      I love both of them. The only down side is when you shoot a .223 SBR from inside even suppressed its loud

      I have some detailed plains in PDF I can send via email that reduce a ton of scrap wood. One hexagon and one octagon
      Send em my way as well brother, please.

            No more than 6'5 ... Keeps your sides under 32" so you can get 3 rips a sheet and run your plywood horizontal.. It leaves a seam but nothing some z-bar or trim and caulk won't seal

                  While perusing the DIY looking for blind ideas I have ended up with less of a plan than before. I like the idea of a hexagon blind, but I am without a table saw, so cutting all the angles seems not so fun with a circular saw. I originally thought about a 4x6 blind with a single vertical window in the short side. Hunting to a feeder at 20 yards, so I don't need lots of shooting windows. We have been using a pop up, but like the idea of a box blind up 3-4 feet. Anyone try a box blind like this, or is a hexagon or octogan the way to go?

                    One more question, are you guys stand or sitting to shoot? Well actually a lot of questions, but I can't create a new thread yet. Last one in here, how do decide your window height from the floor and overall vertical size?

                      Hexagon doesn't require anything more than a circular saw. The corner 2x2 pieces of wood fit perfect when ran through a table saw, but not all that bad without.
                      Hexagon is more expensive but easily fit 2 people and have plenty of drawing room.

                          I ended up making a Hexagon Blind. I made it where it was basically 6ft across its longest width. If I was to do it again, I would have made it a little bigger. I can draw inside it but really have to watch moving around in it while drawing.

                              When you say more expensive, you mean than a regular box blind I'm guessing?
