I've had 3 blinds in the past. All 3 were ameristep. One was a hub style and the others were the spring loaded type. The hub had way more room than the spring loaded ones and I liked sitting in it more. The others were almost to small for one guy to really bow hunt out of. At full draw my bow pushed against the front and my elbow would hit the back. For using a crossbow I'm sure it'd be fine. Using a gun would be fine as well. Fitting two adults in there gets quite tight though. Tried it last year with my buddy for turkeys and it was a joke. We may as well have held hands and skipped through the park as it certainly felt as if we were sitting on each other's laps. I believe that it was the doghouse model. If it were me, and I'm looking at putting more than just myself in the blind, I'd get something larger.
