I really like the flexibility and mobility of this system.  In years past when that tom started talking I would have been pinned down in my blind hoping against hope that he might travel my way.  This time I just grabbed my decoys and chair and was able to go to him and set up close.  What an advantage it is to be able to call from 100 yards away instead of a 1/4 mile.

Also much more flexible at daybreak when they are gobbling from the trees.  I never liked trying to be mobile with a blind, chair, decoys, and all the paraphernalia.  So I always had my blind set up ahead of time and was locked into my location for the morning.  Not anymore!

I spent 16 hours in my Double Bull blind over the last two days and saw nothing.I could hear them but they sure didnt want to cooperate. I have the Pacseat and also have a Bush N A Bag that I got from Big Jim.Reading this thread makes me want to head after them this weekend and leave the Double Bull in the vehicle.At least I would get lots more exercise.Good luck Whip!

Joe,
  So close!!  You will get em next time.  Getting that close to them is awesome.  I missed a tom @ 4 yards last year out of my DB.  That was the most exciting miss ever.  I am going out with the bow during the 4th period, next week.  I cant wait.  Good luck!!!,
Matt

What is the name of Joey's blind, and is their a setup that works with bows that are not drilled for a stabalizer.

The bow blind is called the Hidden Hunter blind.  Do a search for Innovative Hunter Inc. and you will come up with it.

It works really nice with a stabilizer hole set up. I would think that maybe the gadget adapter thing that Great Northern sells could be adapted to make it work on bows that don't have the stabilizer hole.

Joe, I really think psyching yourself into focusing on the shot and not on the fear of getting busted is the hardest part of this game you are playing.  I've failed more than succeeded but I distinctly remember the first bird I connected on, I told myself right before shooting that I don't care if I get busted....just focus on that spot and make the shot.  It worked.  Did it again the second try, same season, and haven't been able to do it since!

By the way, what type of noise occurs with this umbrella attached to the bow upon release?

No extra noise at all that I noticed.  It did take some getting used to learning to shoot through the hole in the netting, but it is very quiet.

Great stuff, but as one who hates hanging stuff on the side of the bow. I am wondering about some sort of small screen over a light frame you could just set up directly in front of you?

The Hidden Draw blind is actually what you are wanting and attaches to the front of the bow.I looked the info. up and actually placed an order for one yesterday.They are located in Iowa.There is also a Hidden Hunter blind but it is a pop-up type.The Hidden Draw Blind is made by Innovative Hunter and that is the one Whip is usiing.
