Close a few windows and I'd say it looks great! 

Have you practiced shooting from it?  Looks like the ceiling height is a little low :dunno:  Nothing worse than shooting 14" low through a 12" window...or so I've heard :chuckle:

If it's on private property, then leave it out all season. The deer will get used to it. Otherwise, yea, what they all said.

Like said above, close all of the windows except the one your shooting out of. Also put some brush on top of the blind. There really isn't much in the woods with an arched shape like that. Also it will keep the rain and dripping snow from slamming into the top. It sounds like a small explosion and will scare the crap out of you when a pound of wet snow falls from 40 feet and hits the blind at 30 mph :yike: I'm speaking from experience. :)

Use the poles the blind came with. They make more room then you think. It also helps to shed the rain.  :twocents:

Now breakup the outline with brush and you should be good.
