Hunting Blinds

[Interseptor]

I've been looking at blinds and noticed that there is a lot to choose from.  When looking at the Double Bull Matrix and T5, is there much diference in shooting your bow out of either.  I have also notice that there are a few other blinds that seem to be well designed for trad gear.  But I also notice that they actually cost more the the Double Bull blinds.  Are there any that come recomended.

I believe the Matrix and T5 are the same size -- height and width.  The T5 is also offered in a traditional/recurve model which is about 6 inches taller.  They may offer the matrix in that size as well, don't know.  With the T5, you're limited to the windows; the matrix is virtually all window.  Greater danger in highlighting yourself in the matrix.  I don't find shooting out of the T5 windows a problem.  They give me as much versatility as I need.  I know of no other blind that sets up and takes down as quickly or easily.  I highly recommend either DB.

I just purchased a DB Matrix 360, prior to that i used a Ameristep penthouse. There is no comparison between the two blinds. The 360 blows the other right out of the water. Just this morning i set up on a gobbler that was between 75& 100 yards away i was able to setup my blind without being detected, there is no way i would have pulled it off with my other blind. He never came closer than 40 yards so i had no shooting, but no matter just being able to set up like that was a feat in it's self. I just have the standard 360 and have shot out of it with no problem, although i am using a 54" recurve i feel that there would be no problems with my 66" long bows if i were careful about the shots i took. There work to carry in and around the woods but well worth the extra effort so far i love mine.

Like Stone Knife said, double bull is well worth the money.
