Your K-Mag would have room to spare.

More questions for Dale...
I looked at a number of blinds tonight. A pop-up blind would need the following to work for me:

1) Be tall enough to clear my bow while seated on my portable stool
2) Be very fast to go up/down
3) have windows that could be quietly lowered for shooting. I get a bad vibe thinking about shoot-through mesh and cedar arrows using Zwickeys and 5 inch feathers. Sounds like a wounding in progress...or a miss altogether.

Does your blind meet you expectations? If so, what make/model is it? (you never did say how tall it is)

The ones at Bass Pro are all boxed up with little information of the boxes other than dimensions. I'm thinking shoot-thru mesh is designed for 300fps carbons with razor heads, not Zwickeys..

1) Yes
2) No
3) No
Mine is very comfortable but heavy to carry and the windows have Velcro. :evil:
There is camo curtains that part in the middle that you can see through and are supposed to be silent to slide open. :roll: Tung in cheek, I can even hear them slide so I am sure a deer could hear it.
There's a few blinds out there that would fit what you want much better.
Mine is good for me because I leave it setup.

Thanks...I'll have to go online at Bass Pro and search through the reviews, I guess. That's why I didn't buy one tonight.
Sorry if I hijacked your thread... :oops:

No worries Kirk, this thread will probably not be very active anyway.
