pop up blind for use on an elevated platform

[steve13]

I have an elevated platform that used to have a box blind on it, I want to buy a pop up that is tough enough to sit up in the breeze, only 7 ft or so, and that has windows that are good for bow hunting and shooting down at an angle

any ideas will be appreciated

thanks!!

Most will stand up to a pretty good breeze, the bigger problem that I see is the Sun on the fabric. The fabric will not hold up for a long period of time exposed to the elements. The other issue that I see is the shooting angle, the pop-up is designed with a ground position in mind, so short shots would be near impossible.

If you are looking for a cheap cover for your movements, then perhaps CPVC pipe and camo burlap cloth would be a direction to look in.

I have a eastman pop up on my elevated platform but I didn't like the trianglar windows. It was hard to shoot out of it at a downward angle.

I'm thinking of buying that cheap ameristep doghouse pop up from academy. It has those large wide windows that look easier to shoot out of.

I was thinking about gettig one of these. I like the windows on it.

the ameristep is what a guy at cabelas recommended, they were out, now i do not even see the on the web site...i would use it for bow season only, then place my other blind out for rifle season...last year i was busted time and time again when on the ground, close up with my bow..was thinking about this an an option to a tripod

thanks for the input

I see that blind on ebay for around 245.00

I'm doing this with a couple of my pop-ups that I felt were hard to shoot out of while sitting in them on the ground. I do like the Primos Vision Ground Blinds but I feel like the windows are a little low on them so I'm going to put them up in the air a little bit!
