bow blinds


30 inch eyes

Recommended Posts

I am thinking about using my bow for the first two days(I got a license for the a block) I was wondering if any of you have used a blind, and if so which kind.I don't think I need to spend $400 on a double bull, but I looked at the cabelas blinds for about $170 and they look okay. can anybody give me some suggestions on the kind you use and why do you use that particular kind.

I've been using a DoubleBull for three years now and would not consider a different brand. I borrowed friends blinds before and was disappointed. They were difficult to set up, noisy and moved in the wind. The first time I got the chance to try the DoubleBull, I was hooked. Light weight, sets up and takes down in seconds, quiet, well built, and the fabric stretches tight over the frame so there's no flapping if a breeze kicks up. I got lucky and bought a used one from my neighbor when he upgraded. If I ever lost it, I'd pay full price to replace it. The cost is a little steep, but well worth it if you plan on owning and using it for a long time.

Good Luck!

CPK is right, double bull is the way to go if you can drop the cash. For deer it's not such a big deal, but turkeys, especially bow-range turkeys inside of 20 yards will not tolerate fabric flapping, even waving in the wind. You work too hard to get them there, only to have the wind and your blind give you up.

We just got a doublebull for my mom for xmas. She used a friends last year and loved it. It sets up and takes down quick. Plus it has huge windows and a black interior so you can get away with a little more movement...or so they say. I would think it'd be great for introducing a new hunter too. Good luck and let us know what you end up getting.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
