Ameristep Roundhouse 360 TSC MOBU
Going turkey hunting in Missouri the last weekend of the season. I want to harvest one with my Bowtech VFT. I have been looking at blinds for about a week and settled pretty much on this one. Has anyone had experience hunting out of it? Its the TSC so I can use it during deer season. Any tips on bowhunting out of a blind? taking my 8 year old with me so I should have enough room for him. I am in new territory on this one so any input would be appreciated.

I don't have any experience with this particular model but I have used several other Ameristep blinds in the past. Considering the design you are planning to use I would suggest making sure that you keep the windows closed on one side of the blind. If not then the birds (and deer) will be able to spot movement from your form being silhouetted against the windows on the opposite side.
Good luck with it. I have received alot of enjoyment when hunting out of mine.

RE: Ameristep Roundhouse 360 TSC MOBU
I have used the Outhouse for many years but found that it was too small for bowhunting. I got a great deal on the Roundhouse last year and I really like it. It's a bit heavy and cumbersome for a long hike into the woods but once setup, it's very comfortable. I carry a small folding chair and I don't have to worry about small movements.
Tips for bowhunting from a blind:
1-The biggest thing I would suggest is to make sure that you dont hit the blind with the elbow of your drawing arm. That will spook most deer or at the least, they will look in your direction making a shot difficult. The Roundhouse is plenty big enough to eliminate this.
2-Make sure there aren't any sticks or twigs under your blind. You can step on them and spook animals.
3-Keep at least one side zipped up so animals don't see movement inside.
4-You can't use expandable broadheads with the shoot-through screen. They may open when passing through it making flight erratic.
Hope this helps and good luck.
