What a pain n the arse!

1. They're noisy
2. It automatically blocks half if the window. You need to pick your blind spots
3. They're noisy as hell to adjust

I hate any stand which requires me to stab my gun through a slot to shoot. You can only imagine how much one with windows pisses me off

At what point in history did everybody start putting anti-stand up and shoot devices on deer stands????

Yea, they are horrible.

I like windows with a hinge that you can connect to a hook

That's why you rig them up with a hinge on them and a string to open them with

Does plexiglass reflect sunlight new or maybe when it clouds up after age?

We used a piano hinge and a rope tied to the corners of the windows and ran through a hole in the wall of the box. Had a loop tied in the rope on the inside and you'd just pull the rope to open the window and hang the loop on a screw.

Worked well. And you can make the windows as big as you want

And if they aren't built with enough space in the slots they tend to stick when the wood swells. Then you make alot of noise trying to get them open. We have one that you need a small tool box to open and it's one our better spots. Don't use string if your windows are hinged. You'll have some dingbat pull one the string only to open the window and after a couple of pulls the string frays and the window is shut until you can repair it. What really sucks is when you drive 7 hrs to the camp and climb in a stand before daylight only to find one of local members broke the string and then didn't fix it.
