what do you guys think of this blind??? i have always wanted to get a blind to hunt from...especially one with shoot through windows...anyone own this particular one and if you have what did u like and dislike?? thanks!! http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/guide-gear-deluxe-ground-blind.aspx?a=552574
I have the exact blind and really like it. It's big enough to bowhunt out of, has a blacked out interior, shoot through mesh and its' easy to set up. Now if you plan to hunt with a partner with a bow...you might want to think about something bigger. I tried it ONCE. A lot of bumping and scrambling around. One peice of advice if you do get it...If you leave it out in the field...make sure you want to use the mesh because once you have it up it's loud to take it down (velcro). And the mesh does not cover the big windo just the small openings...so if you use the big window there will be no mesh. Hope this helps!
thanks!! i was thinkin of hunting with a partner and maybe my girlfriend....like i said before i would just like something with shoot through windows....obviously big enough for 2 and quiet...what in your opinion is the best archery blind?? also i liked that blind because of the price....on a tight budget!
Honestly you can hunt with 2 people if you plan it out right...I thought about it after I posted...Don't use big chairs for one thing...we made that mistake...and also make sure your hunting partner is not 6'4 at 250lbs...i'm 5'8 170...and make sure you do like a "test run" in the back yard so you can make sure you don't make any noise in the field. It really is a good blind for the money. I had to watch a video on youtube to learn how to close it up for packing...lol...can be a little tricky. SO...if you think you and whoever goes with you will be comfortable and still have enough room for your bows and gear than I would get it. I mostly hunt from my blind alone so it's perfect...that's just my 2 cents.
You know everyone has their own opinion on blinds,stands,bows and all that...just go with whatever fits in your budget and something that will work for you. Go with your gut...
i will obviously do some more research and ask alot more questions on here but this one looked good for now....doin a tiny bit of research and a 200 blind has the same dimensions as this one...(5'x5'5')
i will give you some advice, learned the hard way. take the mesh down when shooting arrows, guns are fine. i know many people have harvested animals while shooting thru mesh, however i wasn't so fortunate. you don't need to follow my advice but if i can save you from losing a deer like i did, then i was glad to help. after the fact i read an article on it and it took me some time to find it but here it is. http://www.americanhunter.org/ArticlePage.aspx?id=1687&cid=0
great article you found....yeah I do not shoot through the mesh...I usually set up my blind so I can shoot out of the window I'm facing and open the 2 side windows and put up my mesh just for viewing/concealment.
