can a bow be used in this blind?

My husband recently bought this blind and it says you can but no. Just bought a new one today. No room to draw back

A crossbow could for sure....... It would be kinda cramped with a compound but I believe it's possible. I can sit me, my 9yo and my 6yo in it in chairs......

Yes, it has room enough to draw back. I use for a photo blind. Chair, tripod,400MM lense.

If you are shooting from bended knee it might work. It is a little cramped for bow hunting. You would have to fool a bit with the windows or leave them open which might open your cover a bit. I would go for the two man size for bow hunting - IMHO.

My husband and son took this out and he ONLY uses a compound bow. Worked great! Plenty of room!

You have to have arrows tuned to the bow. I have only seen arrows out of a box work with a bow once in my life.

The 12 year old we have couldn't draw the bow. If your grandson is large for his age, he may not have an issue. I suggest heading to your local sports supply shop to get a better idea of what you are buying. I walked into this blind, and had I known better, would have gone in a different direction.

If your talking about a dog house style blind it would be a tight fit. I'm not saying it can't be done but don't expect to much elbow room.

bottom center of blind is thicker like a handle. Just use that to push up or pull down

Hey Nick: You can use this with any bow. But you need to be able to mount it on your bow at the right position, so that the arrow is not cocked. If your recurve doesn't have a place to rigidly attach it, you may need to drill a hole in the body of the bow and bolt it. Good Luck

Yes the reel can be used, but it requires an additional mounting kit for crossbows, to get the reel in the proper orientation. Crossbows are usually too powerful and difficult to load, to bowfish with reasonably. 35-45 pounds is all that is needed. More than that causes the arrow to go all the way through, which is a real pain to deal with. Highly recommend this reel on a recurve bow instead.

Yes you can. This was bought for my dad. He is blind and it works good for him

Yes, you can. They are shorter than the arrows that come with the bow, but they do work with it and are a good option if you want more of the arrows with suction cup tips rather than the foam tip. Note that they are also available in a bright blue/green color instead of camo if you prefer that.

These chairs are perfect for bow hunting because the shape of the seat allows you to draw and shoot at an angle easily. I use them on my ranch both out of "pop up" blinds and the new Nature Blinds (the ones that look like a stump). I have not used a dog house blind before, but the window height looks similar to the blinds that I have used it out of. They should work great.

It sure wouldn't hurt Michael. In fact, I have them on both my longbow and recurve. Super easy to install and they really do quiet the bow down! Have a good day

size wise, yes. it is partially see-thru so any movement inside of the blind might be seen. it would obscure objects from external recognition, letting you see out. it is like loose woven burlap

Yes I have used it in my ground blind, and it worked very well. As best as I've been able to tell, it hasn't ever spooked any deer.

I don't see why not. At a 50 lb draw it hits hard enough to bring down small game. The only problem I forsee is that the surface area of the bow itself is rather unique: squarish and metal. This may be difficult to attach a reel to.

That really depends on where you are measuring from and what blind? The gun or bow blind. They are both the same in height but the shooting slot for the gun blind is about mid chest on a 6 foot tall person if that helps. But to answer you question the blinds are 65" tall without the top. With the top you get around 12-24" more room give or take on how you set them up. I love these blinds and highly recommend them. Hope this helps

It is a great blind for Bow hunting, I am 6'2" and I have room to almost stand straight up, It is tall enough not to worry about hitting the top of the blind with your bow and wide enough for two people and a camera in stand. Though I have only harvested deer in it, I have seen several Turkeys and could have harvested them as well. The only downfall is if you plan to leave it out very long, the fabric breaks down quickly in the elements, Zippers tear, and rips along the bottom where it meets the ground, however all pop up blinds do this I believe. Overall, a great blind

I suppose you could, but it would take some sort of a harness or strap. I would think the problem with it would be the arrows protruding out, as they may get in your way when drawing your bow back. I personally would not look at this quiver for mounting on my back. There is most likely better alternatives. (just my opinion on that)
