Shooting line tents - what size

[Beardy]

As the title says really. What size is reasonable for shooting line tents, and at what size would you be considered to be taking the p***? Just thinking about getting something for this year as I fancy doing a few more competitions. I want to get something big enough, but I don't want to go t'ing people of with a canvas mansion
is a 2m cube to big?

Last year I got The Outhouse from Outdoor Revolution and found it large enough to keep my chair, bow and snack-bag in if it was wet.

I'm going to be getting myself another one for this year (last year's one went with the car when it was stolen).

Wow, that's really nice and cheaper than a Pop-a-Bivy plus waterproof!!

The Outhouse tents look perfect. 100% better than some of the marquees i have seen at comps, some people take up half the line with one tent. Goa have to get me an Outhouse.

They are (if I have the right ones) ideal. Not too big a footprint and still big enough to stand in. That is a major plus. I'm definitely going for one this season.
(just noticed bumbles is a double - to be honest a single on the line is likely to keep you on the social side, a double isn't).

I found this one it even comes with its own seat

Get the biggest you can (50m x 3m) The bigger the better then we can all share but not have the hassle of getting to the shoot early to put it up or take it down again

I've used a Pop A Bivy for years, but last year wit Florence tagging along and a couple of others, we decided to pitch in (!) and buy a larger tent between us.
Aztec utility tent Plus, Storage tent. online - World of Camping
This is the one we chose, mainly because we'd seen someone else with it first.
Its big enough for 3 archers with all their kit, and when it rains , you'd be amazed how many can squeeze in!
But the trick with a large tent is not to put it ON the tent line, but behind it, somewhere near the middle and then share it with friends. I also take the Bivy just in case we are not close enough on the shooting line to avoid running to the tent in between ends.

I considered one of these until I saw it for real! Shared, yes, can see the benefit - I saw it used as a single and that is just ridiculous!
