    I am in the process of building a box blind and am wondering about window sizes. What sizes have everyone had luck with before?

    The blind will roughly look like a muddy bull box blind when done.

    The cheap part of me wants to make them as long as possible and 9-10” inches high for the rifle windows. Then the bow windows 30-36 inches tall and about 12 wide. Am I on track with this?

    My Windows are all big. We live in a cold windy area, so I use fleece window covers that cut the " size" down until the shot . The fleece cuts wind a lot and quietly drops away for a clean shot. Te big wibows alliw me to sit or stand and gives me lots of room should the deer move.

    That is good to know about the fleece. I have always shot from ground level. How much lower will I need to go for a 10 foot tower

    I'll have to measure they are actually sorta high. I match them to my office chairs. I also usually stand to shoot my recurve I'm thinking 36 in. from floor. Need to double check.
