ASAT Blind ?

[MikeW]

Anyone have this or used one? I've been looking into a pop up blind and this looks pretty good especially for the money.

The blind is a great design but may be a little short for trad bows. I looked at them on display but bought a taller Doublebull.

Correct me if am wrong but DB offers blinds at 72",74" and 76" tall the ASTA is 69"
And I quote from ASAT's web site.
 

The Reaper has a footprint of 58" square and 69" in height, allowing bowhunters to shoot from a standing position

There ain't no way you could stand straight up and shoot your bow straight up in a 69" blind you couldn't do it in  a 76" bind. I just put some marks on the wall and checked it out, you could do it with a canted bow. Am taking about a 62" recurve.

It really doesn't matter cause I'll be shooting off a chair, bucket or knelling or I guess standing with a canted bow.

Which height did you get and was it really that big of a difference?

Thx.

I have a buddy who has one--great camo pattern in the woods, but he says it's too small.  I have shot out of it and agree.  I was really tight with a 60" bow.

Mine is an older DB before Primos and was supposed to be 76" and actual ht. on mine is 73.5 inside and would not want it any shorter for ME. FYI I am 6 ft tall,shoot off a stool or knee, and also have a 62" bow. You need a little margin to move around imho. Call ASAT directly and check if they will make custom sizes.
When I talked to them at the show I asked for ASAT chest waders and hip boots in hunt quiet material and they are actually looking into it as waders were a popular request. They seemed like good people.

Thanks for the link, jelepley.  Good looking blinds at a reasonable price.
