[QUOTE="KDM, post: 147847, member: 314"] I have three elevated 4 X 8 box blinds and they are too narrow for me to put in a chair and comfortably maneuver a bow at full draw so they are gun stands. If I were to build another one I would have at least 6 ft of width to accommodate a chair and other equipment (heater) or another person. Make the windows larger than you think you need and consider not having a window in the back if you are using it on the ground. See through blinds tend to get you picked off. Make it taller than you think you need as having a hanger for your bow at a convenient height reduces movement and allows for easier drawing as you won't have to worry about hitting the roof. It's also nice to have places to hang gear instead of having it on the floor where you will inevitably kick it while that buck you want is right there. I would also try to make use of it as a semi permanent fish house. If you're going to spend the coin, use it as much as possible. Good Luck!! Hope this helped. [/QUOTE]
