Recommend me a ground blind?

[dieseltech09]

Im in the market for a new ground blind, what are you guys using and what should I stay away from. Im looking for something to both bow and gun hunt out of. Im looking at a max of $300. Also Im 6'5" so I need something roomy.

I have the Ameristep one from Walmart for $100. I have had a Double Bull in the past and I think the cheap one is just as good. My 2 cents.

I've had mine for so long, I don't remember the mfg.
its the cheapest one that you can find on the net.
Don't know about the hi dollar ones.

I've owned quite a few and the best I have ever had is the Eastman LX5. I've had it about 2 years now. Bought it from academy for around $100 then. I can't find one under $179 now. It is the most durable blind out there and plenty of room to come to full draw with a bow. When you do get one, use rebar to stake it down. Thats the only way to keep em around in the Oklahoma wind.

I have an Ameristep Intimidator and I really like it. Used it for turkey season and couldn't have asked for better performance. Two of us came to full draw with our bows at the same time and had no problems.

Sportsmanguide has a large selection of hub blinds for a good price. I found this one for $80 5 hub blind. not as much room as I wanted but for that price Ill give it a try

Cabela's has the Double Bull Darkhorse blinds for $300. If I had the coin to spend on one I'd buy it.

I have the Ground Max Eclipse and it's good if you're toting a rifle but it can be challenging if you're bowhunting

for rifle hunting most will work. For bowhunting I would recommend the double bull. If you put it next to the cheaper ones you can see a huge difference. A buddy of mine got one and it was obviously the better choice. Deer don't react to it near as bad as the cheaper blinds.

I'm still saving my pennies to get one.

I'm waiting on the Darkhorse recurve blinds from Double Bull to come back out. I guess there was a flaw in manufacturing thats delyed them. I shoot both recurve and compound and want the extra height and room.
