Double Bull fit!
« on: March 16, 2008, 06:40:00 PM »
You shoulda heard me cussing my DB Matrix Friday night! 7 of the 8 top poles were out of the pockets. You ever try and put one of those up when the poles are out??
man I was PPO'd...pop-up blind my fat ass.

Anyone have any suggestions for keepi9ng the poles in place when you fold it up? I'm talking about the Matrix, I've had no problems with the other models....

I have never had anything like that happen yet with my 360, are you doing something wrong?

Had the same problem with a new matrix that I was usingfor the first time on a Nebraska turkey hunt.Took it out of the bag and poles were out all over.Put back in the best i could,when hunt was over Iput all of the poles back correctly and went hunting that afternoon.When I took it out of the bag again poles %^&&&$ everywhere.I found out that I Had the taller model matrix but the standard blind poles where installed.
Hope this helps

Biggie, my guess is your PO'd when your folding it up, you have to be nicer to it .   ;)

I was not crazy about my matrix and sold it. I loved the older ones and the new Dark Horse is my next one, the best of the others combined! my problem with them is I sweat like a $2, well you get the point. Shawn

Ask Peter about DB's...he loves settin' them up    :biglaugh:  

Honestly, I have never had that problem with my Matrix....two seasons of use and never had a problem myself. I can set her up in about 8 seconds too    ;)

I really don't know all the hype has been about the DB.  :confused:  

I guess all the advertising has people sold.
So what 360 degree shooting window. You can't trun on a dime. Thats why you set up where you know the gane is coming and have any decoys in front of you.

It's twice the price as a cabelas lighting, quite a bit smaller and no way's near as fast to set up?
Maybe DB is full of DB?

Big Stuff...Your pain is also mine my friend! DB, claims a 7 second set up...HA! They are proof that false advertising exsists even in the bowhunting world. I love hunting from a blind...but I don't own or use a DB...Since I got rid of mine and since I no longer ask GURU to borrow his, my sanity and smile has once again returned.

Hang in there my large and cuddly friend. If all else fails you can send your blind to Guru...appearently he can set them up in under the 3 hours it takes me...

Oh yeah, I'm getting soft!! Only place I'm getting soft is around my belly and my wallet. Well I thought I was going to get to work Sat. morning, but mother nature put stop to that. I spent the rest of the dodging tornados.

I think the cords that run from the corners to the hub are what hold the poles in the pockets when it's closed.  If you messed with them, it could be your problem.  I screwed with them when I first got mine and the poles all came out.  In their video, they don't tell you why, but they tell you not to mess with the cords.

I also had a pole poke through on one pocket.  It was dark and I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on.  It wouldn't set up at all, yet it looked fine.

Jim/ I have used several diferent blinds extensively hosting hunts with handicap youth and the only blind we have used (and they are all set up the same) that do not spook game are the DB. I don't know the exact reason why but there is a diference. After 10 years of doing these hunts I purchased my own DB Matrix and have had no problems.

You could put a dab of Shoe Goo on the end of each pole.  Trouble is that stuff gets hard after a few years.

Dang Mike. Hope you weathered them storms OK. We had a lovely weekend. Storms on both sides of us but we was spared. If you had come on down, we would have filled that soft belly with some good food.
