I have a Primos Double Bull Matrix 360 blind [no longer made] just like Excalibur crossbows........ double bull blinds are the best ive ever used!!!! i no longer look for good trees to climb...or worry about setting up in the middle of a wide open field for turkeys..... i hunt wherever i want.....with great success! with 10 min. practice you can open it in 7 seconds. if you have the money to spend........ i would buy one !!!!!!!!! i saw more bucks in range this year out of my Double Bull than out of my treestand[climber]. most shots at turkeys are 10 yrds away!! deer at 20yrds. the videos you see out of these blinds are all true!!! i make my own now!!! Next to my Exocet and Nikon 550 Lazer rangefinder my Double Bull blind is the most important tool i own...even more than all my treestands! the new blinds are just as good .Dark Horse Double Bull blinds have different camo and a little different design. both Very effective! Crossbow,bow,recurve bow it dosnt matter Black top and mask[open window] Turkeys.....Camo screen down full camo for deer.

I have an Ameristep Grizzly hub blind. I have practised out of it with my Exomax, and have plenty enough room. The only thing I am not a fan of is the velcro windows and screens, but I open the ones I need as soon as I get in it, so it´s not really a problem. Other than that, I love it, big windows and door, plus it looks good.

The Eastman brand at TSC is a very nice blind, my wife borrowed her fathers last year and I was very impressed.

Got a Doghouse but have decided to go blindless for turkey after one hung up out of range last year (likely from wind noise from the blind). Got a leaf suit from Bass Pro for this year's hunt, gives me more immediate mobility to hunt multiple spots.

I think a good balance between quality and price is the Ameristep Doghouse. Good size, decent quality, and affordable.

Before you buy take these 4 things in consideration ......the camo pattern.. is it good for all places.......how tight is the fabric against frame[shimmy]....... is the fabric shiney ......the shape of the blind[90 degree surfaces not common in nature[square].] most of the time game is afraid of these 4 things.

I've been shopping and comparing the blinds that are available and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with the Ameristep Doghouse blind. Seems to be a good size and a pretty good value for the $$

These are nice blinds but just like anything else you have to go easy on the zippers and such if you expect them to last for several seasons.

Mine already have and don't owe me a thing.
Also make sure your wife has the barrel of the gun ouside of window :mrgreen: First year in it she melted the window fabric at the hindge now it has a smily face when closed :mrgreen:

The ghost blind would not be legal to hunt out of here in Pa. blinds must cover the hunter on all 4 sides and top.and be made of only man made materials.[no brushing in the blind] thats why i bought a Double Bull
