New SummittTurkey Blind?
« on: March 16, 2009, 11:57:00 AM »
Anyone tried the new umbrella type pop-up from Summitt? After fighting my "pop-up" Matrix this weekend I'm ready for something easier...

:knothead:    How is it you "fight" with a DB? I know you're not alone either bud, I don't understand it though. They explain it really well in the instructional DVD, but I know guys still struggle with it.

I got my first one back in 2000, watched the instr. and within a day could set it up very easily. Sometimes a new blind can be a little "tight", but they still open pretty easy.

When a guy gets them figured out, you should be able to have it "popped" in about 10 sec. from when you have it out of the bag....

If you want me to come and show you how to do it, you can invite me down when I drive down to N. Ga. in a couple weeks     :goldtooth:

I havent seen the summit blind yet, but I have used one of their climbers for about ten years with GREAT results. I would imagine their blinds are well built too.

I have yet to actually hunt out of a blind...just feels off to me somehow...

Going to check Summit's website now...

Guru ol buddy, if you can pop this baby up in 10 seconds, I'll give it to you!

Jamie, I saw it on tv last weekend. You sit down and put your feet against it and pull a cord, it pops open like an umnbrella but is a full blind just lke the Dbl Bull.

I will keep an eye out for it. I have never tried a DB, but I have heard more than a few people have fits about them.

Curt, N. Ga? Turkey and hogs? Good luck bud. Might have to head up here in May some time...

I think Im gonna give spring turkey a serious try this year....been about five years since I went.

For the Biggster....first shot right out of the bag....

Not sure how long that actually took, but I know I could do it even faster!

But for the record...if I was in tight on a bird, I'd do it slower so I wouldn't make as much noise....

WOW, I was ready to lay my two bucks on biggie keepin' his blind......But it looks like biggie better not give you direction to his house unless he is ready to give-up the DB.

I have a T2 but I'll be honest with ya, sometimes it works great but other times I just work up a big sweat.

Biggie, I saw an ad for it in the new Bowhunter mag. Your not crazy, its a Summit. Like you said, they talked about it opening like an upside down, inside out umbrella that you used your feet to open it. Scared me just thinking about it. Its probably got 50% let-off.

I hear that Brooks fella is a purty good judge of character. Actually Biggie, those blinds are made for fast set-up by lightweights, I can't set em up that fast either!

Why do we have to go thru this every spring...  :rolleyes:  

The big man is NOT fond of directions   :D  .

You didn't untie it again did you Biggie?

Is it Osceola time yet?
