My deer season just ended and am making preps for next season. lol. Started construction on a shooting house. Base is 4' x 6'. is up on 4" x 4" x 12' posts. They base is pretty much done. Everything is screwed together for easy disassembly so i can transport it to the lease. gonna start on the walls and roof this week. Have to disassemble the base first. lol. (my eyes were bigger than my backyard. lol ) will update with new pics as i progress.
We're in the process of prefabing 4 stands in my buddies warehouse. so far we have the 4 bases done and the walls built for one of them. Their going to be 8x6 and 6.5 high to accomodate the tallest one of us. Another friend who works for a building supply company gave us a bunch of demo house windows to use. The windows are a nice feature but I'm thinking of using some plexiglass instead so I can customize them to fit my shooting style. I've kind of got an idea of how to make them but would be open to suggestions. Also suggestions on how to get these bases up 14ft in the air in wooded areas.

FINALLY-- taking a weekend off from hog hunting. heading up to my deer lease today. gonna take the shooting house up. Will take some pics of construction and the final view.
Hi, got a question. since you have your shoot house done, can you shoot a compound bow out of it? I am getting ready to build one very much like yours. By the way you done an awsome job on yours. I would like to be able to shoot my bow from it also. been putting alot of thought into the windows and have several ideas but was wondering if your windows were big enough?
no there not.the windows we put in it or all horazontal.for a bow you will need a vertical window.I think the next one he is planning for some vertical windows
Thanks for the info got a 2 day gun hunt coming up in Ohio next weekend. In am gonna try to get mine done and up this weekend. well maybe atleast done lol
If you hand one of the yellow wax like "No Pest Strips" in there til cold weather, you'll have no wasps....
