Would it be good for hunting deer with a bow? Been looking for a cheaper blind to buy for this season. If not, any other recommendations?

would not not be good for any hunting, if you want it to work correctly. zippers were jacked up and the door opening takes 3 hands to pull it shut and zip it closed.

Lisa this bow is not a Good choice for a young archer . It is pretty much a toy . sell it, send it back just get rid of it someway .Go to a Barnett Vortec Jr . youth bow .It is a little more expensive .You can get it here on Amazon , or at your local dealer . It has a real bow string , real sights , and adjustable draw length .It will Grow with your child all the way from practice to real Deer Hunting . Well worth the money !! Easy to adjust draw length ,and Draw weight !!

Check Excalibur.com for warranty info. I hunted last season with mine as a first time bow hunter. Put two in the freezer. Get you a target and zero the scope at 20 yards......shot my deer at 30 yards. Arrow went exactly where I aimed and blew right thru both lungs. Both deer ran less than 30 yrds. You will love the Excalibur. Don't settle for any other brand. That's my $.02 worth.

I think it would be ok for a while for some back yard target practice. It a decent bow and can be adjusted up in poundage. My 10 year old handles it well. I guess it mostly depends on what u plan to do with it. If it's hunting is say no.

I'm also 6'2. you can draw, if I'm by myself. There Isn't enough room for a second adult if you are bow hunting. rifle or shot gun is no problem. Depending on your seat you might have to squat or stand a little to shoot out the windows. other than that it's a great blind.

All I can say is I got this one and I'm very happy with it. I first got it for my hand gun. But after seeing how bright it was even in the day lite I put it on my bow for bow fishing and it works very good even in day lite. Hope this helped

I don't hunt but I use mine for target archery. If you range on the animal first then set your site, you should be good.

Yes you should have no problem. I hunt deer with mine and never had a problem.

The bow is for basic learning designed for small kids. It teaches basic skills but has no power for hunting or even being used for distant target practice. I would go to any store that sells bows and see if you are strong enough to pull back and hold 25lbs. If you can I would buy a more powerful adjustable bow. If you can't this bow is for you.

I haven't had it out in the weather as yet. I plan to put it to the test this bow season. Last year there were no cold and/or rainy days to subject it to. Here in Texas, October during archery season, the temps are still in the 80's-90's, and dry. I'm confident that it will perform well I those harsh conditions.

It's a great blind. I've bow hunted out of mine for two seasons and its held up well.

I mainly bought it for hog, but have not had the opportunity to go deer hunting yet. Although, I plan on going soon (this year)! As far as it being good for deer hunting, I read 100s of reviews before settling on this one and saw many cases where people had taken down decent size deer with it. I would think you need to be decent at tracking as I doubt you will drop it where it stands, but once you get it sighted in and can make a fairly accurate kill shot, it shouldn't be hard to find. Also, I did purchase some broadheads to go with it as well. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions and I will answer them if I can. ;)By the way, I assembled it in under 10 minutes. Very Easy!

I used them on a Nebraska Mule deer hunt was very satisfied. Other hunters in my group had more expensive Binoculars and they compared well.

Depending on your bow I sight first reticle at 30yrds. Then ten yrds for all the rest. Great scope I am hunting with it this morning. I have killed three deer with it this year.

not out of the box, but with some light tuning, it would be good for small game, it doesn't have enough pounds to take out a deer. The arrows that come with it, also are fixed tips, so you would need arrows cut to have a hunting tip, as they are field tips.

If you are shooting from bended knee it might work. It is a little cramped for bow hunting. You would have to fool a bit with the windows or leave them open which might open your cover a bit. I would go for the two man size for bow hunting - IMHO.

I think the minimum draw weight for a hunting bow is at least 45lbs, so no, I wouldn't consider this as a hunting bow..unless just for squrrels or rabbits...but not on a deer.
