Striker Base Camo Ground Blind

This is a fantastic hunting blind! It sets up as any typical hub style blind does, taking only about 2 minutes. There are no negatives about this blind. Positives: 1. You can see through the blind 360 degrees - there are no blind spots or challenges to see what's around you. 2. The windows operate silently! 3. There are plenty of shooting windows. 4. The included backpack style stowage case makes it easy to carry it in. This is a much nicer blind than one of similar size I already have, and it is priced better! I would 100% recommend this blind! I can't wait to take this out this deer season.

This blind was easy to set up and take down in less than 2-3 minutes for each. The see-through light-weight blind material is well-made, the quiet glide windows work superbly, and the door zipper seems to be of medium quality. Someone in a wheel chair can enter this blind easily if they lift up the whole blind and roll into it, of course before the ground stakes are set. I added a red ribbon to the roof top to make it easier for me to identify which end to pull and open first. Taking down the blind works in the exact same way, except in the opposite order. The ability to see-through this blind is excellent, and if tucked in by some brush you cannot see into it even if the sun is directly on you. This blind can fit two people comfortably, with only a small amount of floor space left over for gear. I was extremely pleased that when the blind was taken down, it easily fit back into it’s bag after the strap was connected, as some are difficult to fit after use. This blind is easily carried for long distances because it isn't heavy at all.

We have started using more of these see-through blinds and when I saw one with a 360 degree view I wanted to give it a try. Overall I have no complaints with this blind, its well made and should be able to hold up to at least a few seasons of use. Setting up is very easy with the pop up and pop out top and sides, you will have it up in under a minute. I am not a fan of the ground stakes because they are very small and smooth which won't hold in the ground as well - this type seems to be the cost saving option for just about any ground blind now days so I won't take anything off for it. As you can see from the photos, visibility through the walls is quite impressive and can be of real use in the right situations. If you put this blind in a place where sunlight either directly or even indirectly interacts with it, your movements will have a likelihood of being seen. We have tested this on our three-sided see through blinds and know that this happens so with all four sides being this way it will definitely be an issue in bright light. These types of blinds are best used in covered areas such as woods or where you have the ability to nestle it into a thick area or solid backdrop. I do like how the window openings have a top and bottom slide on both ends which allows you to fully open the windows without sagging, this is a much better design than a couple of our other see through blinds which only have top slides. So in general I like this blind and am already making plans for where to use it and as long as you plan as well, I think you will like this blind.

This ground blind is a great option for hunters who want quick, hassle-free setup. It pops up in seconds and packs back down just as easily, no fighting with poles or instructions. The 270/360 see-through mesh gives a wide field of view without sacrificing concealment.

One nice surprise: I can actually see through the material with my thermal scope. It’s not crystal clear, but I can still make out distinct animal shapes and movement through the fabric, which is a nice bonus for low-light or early morning hunts.

Overall, solid value for a pop-up blind. Setup speed and the thermal visibility are the standout features for me.
