Looks like a nice setup.  How did your account for the length of the legs on the backside where the ground slopes away?

If you’re planning on shooting down hill you best have your window openings framed really low to shoot from a sitting position.    
 

It can be a problem.

Yes 16ft legs  on down hill and 11  ft  on top. Level off roadway and measured down

I learned long time ago to set chair  in and then  frame  in windows for expected shots.  Every set up is different.   why i dislike when asked what height are your windows at?  

Also a problem of pre built amish blinds who think eveyone wants to shoot standing and only uses gun.

we built a small bridge over the weekend. Lumber ain't cheap. I can't even imagine what all that pressure treated cost you.

The Amish get their measurements by resting their rifle out of the sides of the buggy lol
