I have the T 5, I also had the matrix, I took the matrix back, and exchange it for the T 5, shooting traditional, you can also shoot out of the viewing windows of the T 5, I have the light rods in mine, it light and it up by 4 lbs., I was thinking about going down to the T 2 but that's a really extreme, you would have to have short bow. I enjoy the T 5, and I did get a good deal on it brand-new $276.00.
If it is one of the newer ones, I would take and tie bungee cords, to each of the cords that are often the top corners, bring one down with the bungee cord to the stakeout, and another one backup to the roof, so that you can stay can stick branches underneath it, it works out great. I do not take and pin my camouflage screening to the window, I do it just like in the video, out one window in the the other window, and tuck them in underneath the rods. You will need the use the 50/100 rule, that is if deer can see 50 yd. you need to brush in, if they can see 100 yd. you leave it out in the open doing nothing to it except for putting in the camouflage screens in the windows.
If it's a good deal I would take one, they're becoming really popular and they are the best blind out there, of course now, as just my opinion. I know there's other blinds out there that work. I also like the double bull three-legged stool, it doesn't cut off circulation, you can drop down to one knee or both, and you can swivel to the left or right in net stool to take a shot, I think that stool is a great.
And I had my roof sewn in wrong when I purchased mine three years ago, when I went to take in to have them put the light rods in, they found out it was sewn wrong, they could not correct it, and they gave me a brand-new blind, they have slogan
" you buy it, your buddy breaks it, we fix it"
