    I am looking to buy a blind for archery hunting. i would like something that can hold 2 people and enough room to draw. im not sure i want mesh windows anymore....dont know how accurate my arrow would be because of the mesh, BUT im not sold that deer cant see into the blind and see you...at the current moment i dont want to spend more than 100 bucks. right now i have 2 in mind that look good, basically im looking for reviews on them, or info on what a great archery blind is that meets my standards, thanks!!

    As I said on HNI, The Doghouse by Ameristep I feel just doesn't do it for a perfect blind. It's a pain in the ass to reassemble (roll up) and not really big enough for two full grown men, chairs and gear (assuming two for filming purposes) as well as a single bowhunter. When all the way back in the blind and extending your bow out to shoot your right up against the front windows, at times the arrow may stick out.

    In my opinion, of the two you show, the Killzone is so much more of a blind than the Ameristep not to mention it's one hell of a deal.

    My Blind

    I bought this blind from Streiff Sporting Goods: http://www.streiffsstore.com/servlet/-strse-12757/YUK-BLIND-PROWLER-FALL/Detail

    I have fit three people in here while ice fishing, and while the fit wasn't exactly ideal, it was better than sitting in the wind without a heater.

    It takes about 10 seconds to get setup and the windows are hung up with elastic. It does have mesh windows, but you can open all sorts of small triangles on this.

    It comes in a canvas bag with carrying straps so you can backpack it in. The stitching on it is tough and will definitely hold up. I can't say enough good things about this blind.
