    I had one and returned it because I couldn't get to full draw without hitting the walls.

    I had one. Way too small to draw a bow. Your elbow hits the back wall. Would be great for a gun or crossbow, though.

    Not easy but if your seat is low enough and you put your arrow either out the window or towards the corner to draw and move it into position it can be done. Although I'm a little shorter than you at 5'7"

    I tried one once, way too small to bow hunt out of.

    I just did as said above and drew from the corner. I'm 6'5 and could almost stand straight and also comfortably shot with another hunter with me
