Hello,
looking for user input into a well made Crossbow friendly ground blind.

i am using a Ameristep Doghouse and it has enough room but it's not the top of the line

I use Ameristep Stackhoue and I love it. Plenty of room for wheelchair and crossbow.

Ameristep Doghouse. Reasonably decent for the $. I also have an Outhouse, but it's a bit snug with a x-bow. I pretty much have to sit diagonally in it to keep the bow inside.

Thanks for the speedy replies. There are so many out there and it is really hard to purchase something without using it first, so the next best thing is input from members of the forum. Thanks again I really appreciate it.

PS. Looking for ideas on make arrows easier to find at night. Tried luminocks with so so results. Wondering if anyone has has success with reflective tape something similar, or will it cause problems with arrow balance / flight.

Also take a look at Ameristep's Intimidator blind. Hub style like the Double Bull, just doesn't cost as much. I love mine.

I've used the doghouse (or similar size/style) blinds for several years now. Fine for one person, a bit cramped with two people, and downright crowded with three!

I've shot several deer from the blinds using my Excalibur without any problems.

We use a cheapie called a Sniper blind, the camo is perfect for early season, the case is a backpack too and is very light. I use it when I hunt with the kids so I often have a bunch of other hunting essentials, like Barbi's, crayons, plastic binoculars, blankets.. I have learned to appreciate it's weight and portability. Sets up in seconds and comes down just as fast. Paid $99 for it at the bow shop.

Thanks for all the responses. Went with the Ameristep Doghouse. Easy to setup a little tricky to fold. Has anyone shot through the shoot through mesh? Just curious if it negatively affects the arrow in anyway.
