    What are people's thoughts on the ghost blind? Has anyone used one? I like the idea of the mobility and adaptive aspect, but don't know a whole lot about it. On paper it looks like a great product. Everything changes in the field though.

    Honestly it's not really that good.

    Problem #1 Unless you want to buy 4 it really on covers one side of you.

    #2 if the sun hits it that thing is a bright and burning spot light.

    #3 setting it up on hilly land or land with logs everywhere makes it a pain to set-up

    #4 I have heard if it's windy it can fall.

    #5 shooting over it isn't the greatest.

    If you can somehow fix all that stuff...not likely...it's great.


    I would recomend just sticking with a nice cube blind or something

    Im skeptical of the hideabow for turkey hunting, I feel as though you are attracting attention to your self, any movement behind that blind and you are busted, with pronghorn or something along those lines you are possibly using it as a decoy as well... seems as though it has worked for you on the birds, I'm just a little skeptical i guess.

    WoW if hideabow works you must be shooting at some super dumb turkeys.I want them to look away from me not at me.

    Actually,we have proven that a little movement works In your favor. It's best if you use a few other decoys I'n your spread and you then blend In with them. I know for a fact that you can't go wrong. Other hunters have had great results with this setup and it's a thrill to watch how turkeys react to this new amazing setup. Were telling you who try the hideabow won't hunt much hunt any other way, guaranteed!

    The hide-a-bow only hides your BOW... Not the rest of you, that is why he was asking about the Ghost Blind.. Personally I feel its bad enough that we need to move the bow, much less a 4 foot by 4 foot square leaf around in a tree.... The Ghost Blind is really neat on a fields edge, in the middle of a knee high food plot, on the edge of a corn field, or in the snow... It actually angles down to reflect the ground in front of you, not reflect straight out.. There are strings on 3 sides to help secure it, but agree it needs to be on flat terrain... Very light, and easy set up.. Great for gun hunting or handicap hunting from a wheelchair... Have a friend that is paralized from the waist down from a treestand fall 4 years ago, and the Ghost Blind has allowed him to continue hunting
