| Anybody use one, especially with a bow? |
| I'm good friends with Chris Robinson off the show Carnivore on the Pursuit Channel and they sent one of these blinds to him. It's a great idea and they're pretty awesome once they're setup and you're looking at it. They work as good as they appear on the advertisements and I don't see why you couldn't bow hunt from behind one as long as the deer got close enough to you without noticing you in the first place. |

Thanks. I wasn't sure if the ad pics were enhanced or optimized for conditions in any way. I am looking for a ground blind to hunt a big area that I can't use a tree stand and the idea of it instantly blending into the immediately local vegetation and being highly mobile sound like a great advantage. Now I just have to decide to either build one or buy one. |

Found the film for $25 at home depot. The lexan is expensive, but I am looking at using Coroplast, but not sure how the ridges will affect the image. |

Now I just have to decide to either build one or buy one. No, they're not enhanced or optimized. In fact, I thought it was more impressive in person than in the pictures. If you set one out in a field and someone didn't know it was there, they would never even see it. |
