What is the preference among the bow hunters? To have fixed blinds with fixed benches (seats) or to have removable blinds that one set up in trees. I am talking along the lines of African animals.
On the topic of fixed blinds do you prefer loose chairs or fixed benches at the back of the blind?

Regards,

I liked the pit blinds AFTER I got used to the shot angle. Very few of us in North America shoot "up".

I'd prefer a chair/stool that I could position as I need vs. a fixed bench. I hunt with a recuve that is 62" long so I need more space that compound bowhunters that shoot bows 1/2 as long.

I think more inportant is the flooring, sand is very quiet. I've used a old wool blanket and removed my boots to remain quiet in a blind with a wood floor.

Most of us hunt from the trees, so we are used to that angle. We wear srafty harness that we attach above our head to the tree. I hunted one day from a mopane. There was no trunk or branches above me!....The tree 'platform" was nested in the tops of the spreading braches(most N. American tree we hunt from have a central trunk) It took me a while to settle in and relax in that stand.


This stand is a bit more elaberate than the standard ones used here. It would be more comfortable for a long hunt. We usually add some brush attached to the stand floor to break-up our profile.
