its very hard if your not in a blind i know that...before blinds many used a buddy system with one guy calling and another hiding behind a tree or brush about 20 yds. away...the idea that the turk would be focussed on the caller and maybe not notice the shooter drawing...i never hunted that way,always solo...i got the turks super close,sometimes much too close and could never get away with drawing on them...but i will say it was a great time...if you use a blind a very short bow comes in very handy...:biggrin:
i was amazed at the length of bow i could shoot from this blind but you had to hold it almost straight verticle...you could get away with some cant with very short recurves...not a lot...i shot bows from 48" to 64"from this...the 48 wins hands down...

with this type blind you can get away with canting the bow as much as you want but according to length of bow on to what degree of cant...the shortys again were much more comfy and without worry of limb tips hitting the tent...with the shortys i never even worried about it...

a 52"bow is plenty short enough in either blind...

a lil more cant in the bigger wider/roomier blind but the roof was much lower than the other blind...
as you see theres much more room in front in this blind as in the other the bow was very close to the front of the blind at full draw but no problem...in both blinds i sat at the very back allowing enough room for my elbow at full draw...the bigger blind easily shot bows to 64"...and i might have shot a 70"but the longer the bow the more you will concentrate on upper limb clearance,not good...
