Striker360 Diamond Camo Ground Blind

Even with 360 degree openings, a blind can be too restrictive for those who tire of crouching to get a view; this blind fixes that with its see-through camo and roof hatch. Kids can enjoy developing action without jostling for a view; the window slides are quiet compared to zippers. Woods hunters can appreciate the all around view from a swivel chair without having to look through shooting ports to see. In addition many will use the roof port for unobstructed views and binoculars, always seeking to spot game well in advance. All hunters, and wildlife observers, will find the multiple openings useful, whether for cameras, bows or firearms. Recurve shooters can use the roof opening, and shorter bows may work from inside, shot canted. Waterfowl hunters can tuck and brush this blind in rushes or cat tails, achieving comfort and portability without sacrificing much effectiveness, although only one shooter can realistically use the roof port at a time. Setup is fast with a bit of practice, and the included roof cover (tied down firmly) will keep things dry when vacant or during a downpour. The stakes for securing the blind are worthless; a foot of rebar pounded solidly at the corners is minimal for high winds. The build looks pretty good - it’s not a $500 blind after all - with decent zippers and double stitching. Straps allow tying up brush conveniently, but don’t be jamming pin oak branches between them and the blind; tie them on to avoid otherwise inevitable tearing. There is a lot of functionality here for a reasonable cost; it may be worth considering.
