Pros: Good overall design; Inexpensive
Cons: Very poor quality - especially the zippers; No customer service

Though positive improvements were made (black interior, flap tiedowns, optional floor), quality has gone down .... zippers should be on purses, not hunting blinds. In an effort to be the cheapest, they've gone too far. Made an effort to contact company (via e-mail) to get problems corrected and I got NO REPLY.

Pass it on.

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Cheap

I have not been too happy with this blind, I have the TSC model. It is one year old and one of the poles has already broke, and the storage bag has ripped. The floor is quite loud too. They will work, but there are much better blinds on the market.

Pros: It's light, easy to set up and does the job.
Cons: Poles break easily, kinda loud if touched

I would reccomend this blind only if you need to move fast or often, not as a perminant blind. The poles break easy and it doesn't set up well in very cold temps.

Pros: Roomy for 1 person and gear (but tight for 2)....Easy to set up...
Cons: not much head room for archery shooter

I'm not a major fan of ground blinds but I own 3 of these blinds...They're great when the weather gets a little tough for tree sitting...makes a good alternative. Deer are shy of it at first unless you put it out there for at least a week so if you're on a day or weekend hunt somewhere I highly recommend backing it into a brushy concealment or pine back drop.
I shot one deer from it with a bow and it could use a few more inches of head room for archery shooters but rifle hunters should do well from this blind....Set up is easy... take down and fold up is ok but practicing before going afield helps alot. Good blind for the price.

Pros: Windows can be opened to any size.
Cons: Broke a pole. Straps on the bag are tearing.

I have had mine for four years now. There isn't as much head room as I would like. Other than poles, it has been very durable. Very quick set up. Leave out a weak prior to hunting deer from it is a must.

Pros: Light weight
Cons: Not high enough, tough to fold up,(with floor) not for bow.

Spend a little more cash and get one you can use for every thing.

Pros: quick and easy to set up
Cons: zippers

I own two of these blinds and use them to hunt and ice fish from. with proper care blind will last for years. first one is 4 years old. Stand can not be left up for extended time for it will effect the zipper. the one i have left out i have put a blck sheet at the door way and this make getting in and out silent and keeps all light out.
Best buy for the money. paid 49 bucks for mine

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Why can I not hunt small game, ducks, varmits, turkey, yotes, bear, and elk the way I choose?

Because CROSSBOWS are not allowed.
Bows are allowed
guns are allowed
Why are you afraid of a crossbow
