Hunting blinds?
« on: January 05, 2011, 07:12:00 PM »
I'm looking for advice on a good hunting blind.
I shoot a 64in. recurve and am looking for a blind that will give me enought room to shoot well. Anyone use one and which is best? Thank you.

The next one that I get is going to be the hidden hunter blind that 3 Rivers is selling.  Easy set up and plenty of room.

I've about given up on popups for bowhunting.I've been just making natural blinds instead.

I've hunted out of my Hidden Hunter blind with my 64" Model-T Longbow with no problems at all.

Do a search there's been a couple of good threads in the last few weeks about them.

I do hunt from ground blinds but have never been inside an artificial one... pretty rare in my stompin grounds...  I think that I've only seen two of those... one was at a sports show, the other was on the edge of a field 2,000 miles from home. LOL
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

I like to make my own natural blinds, They usually don't get stolen or destroyed.

i have a double bull dark horse hybrid recurve. it has loads of room. i love this blind. besides all the room it has. it also has a 180 degree view window that you can adjust vertically from 0" to 22". it has a black lining so when you put the shoot thru mesh up, you can't be seen. getting the hang of putting it up was an issue at first. now it's up in just a minute.

IMO that is money better spent on some thing else. I sit in the natural cover, never bothered with one of those fancy tents. That's just me.

As far as pop ups go, this is great.

Blinds have come down a bunch in price so you don't have to go broke buying one. This blind is 90"x90" wide 82" tall and sells for $119 regular price and we got it for $95 on sale. You can shoot what ever bow you want out of this blind.

 

Pm or email me if you want more info. Natural blinds are great to but it doesnt hurt to have both.

The main reason I have gone to manufactured blinds is that I got tired of finding cig. butts and wood shavings  in my natural blinds. I'm sure that if I find someone sitting in my Matrix blind it would turn out to be an uncomfortable confrontation. Isn't that sort of like breaking and entering?

Try a Barronett SnakeEyes 350. They are huge. Made for 3 people and super tall and wide. 80" tall by 90" wide. Multiple window configurations. 180$ and just as good as any Double Bull

All Pm's and email's answered about the blind, If I missed anybody please let me know and good luck!!  :bigsmyl:    :thumbsup:  

StJoePTP that is the same blind in my first post!!

Ameristep makes a big one too about the same size and it's called a Bighouse blind but cost just a little bit more. Here's a pick of it.
