[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1933513, member: 5412"] This weekend my buddy and I ordered the Ghost Blind to take on a bow hunt where we didn't know if any tree stands, etc could be set up. [url]http://www.ghostblind.com/[/url] (there was a thread on it in GD, but it never got moved to this forum.) A few years ago, I field tested a prototype of this for a certain magazine. It worked ok, but had limitations with high winds, etc. Saw an ad on this, and we decided to take the plunge, as the bugs looked to have been worked out. To say the least it worked really well. Both of us had deer within 10 yards. We did have a couple of issues though. Your given 4 stakes, and 4 ropes. We found that we needed 4 more, and some para-cord to really make it work right. Our hunt had high winds, which required the extra equipment. No wind, no problem. If one follows the instructions faithfully, it works as advertized. The web site above has some video's, and pics that demonstrate proper installation. I could walk away from the blind about 40 yards, and it was difficult to see, as long as it was in a shaded area. In a sunny area, the total blind was a little shiny if not put up properly, and there was a little ridge along the very top of the blind that stood out. 2 minutes with a black sharpie took care of that issue. Its constructed of a plastic cardboard like material to be waterproof, so that design has small pockets along the top of the blind like cardboard does. It made a perfect place to stick small plants, and twigs for additional camo. For a recurve crossbow like mine, its takes a little manuevering to make sure one of the limbs doesn't strike the blind at release. My buddy's compound model had less issues. A vertical bow would have no issue. It would be really great for pistol, or short range rifle and shotgun hunting. 4 1/2 out of 5 stars from me for a rating. No matter what the season, terrain, background, foreground, its the perfect camo. Try to use woodland camo in a grass area, and your busted unless it stays there for a couple of weeks. Y'all know what I'm talking about. Check out the video's on the link. [/QUOTE]
