Brian works great

My first year harvesting a deer. Two years ago I used a tree stand and never even saw a squirrel but this year I've seen 7 pointers as close as 10 yards. I use a Ravin R20 crossbow and sometimes a Savage 30-06. But mostly the crossbow. The shoot-through mesh is fantastic. As she other people have said this thing is not waterproof.

I got a 20% off coupon from Harbor Freight and bought a camo tarp. Then I got 2 ten foot 1 inch galvanized conduit and used my Harbor Freight angle grinder to cut them into 4 sections. I used a 4lb hammer and a 6 foot ladder to pound them into the ground at each corner of the blind. Angled away from the blind so it would provide tension on the tarp. Then I drilled some holes into the conduit at the top 9/16 and put a piece of rope in it to create a loop. Then I took 4 carabineers from Lowe's and hooked them onto the rope loop and onto the corner of the tarp. Basically adding a roof to the tarp so I could stay nice and dry inside. I also took my wife to Harbor Freight and had her use a 20% off coupon to get a moving blanket so I could put that down as a floor. Then I cut up a few piece of plywood to add for the shooting stick and shooting chairs. I also built a small table from PVC pipe and spary painted it black. Then I put mulch all around the outside of the blind and even on the inside. I wanted the tarp to overhang the front of the blind to act as a sun awning. So when the sun starts to set it is not shinning directly in my eyes nor does it light up the inside of the blind. Think baseball cap.

This setup plus using the Primos Original Can pulled in several nice deer for myself and my father. I love this country and am grateful for our rights to own a gun and hunt. It's an amazing experience to be part of nature compared to sitting inside on a laptop all day long.

I recommend this blind but it does need some doctoring to make it perfect. Next year I'll build a permanent raised shooting hut. It was cramped in this blind for two large men so I'd like to have something that's a bit larger and has carpeted flooring.

Great blind for the $70. It does have stitching holes at the seams, but so does my $350 rhino. These are not rips, or tears, but mearly needle holes that can be sealed if you wish. I have set in this blind in a down pour, and have not gotten one drop of rain on me. Condensation does build up heavily on the ceiling on freezing mornings, but the angle of the roof causes the moisture to run down the sides, and not drip on you. Again my expensive blind does this.
Two people "can" fit in this blind, but that is it...they fit. This is the same with all blinds, tents, stands, boats. If you want to have two hunters in a blind, buy a bigger blind. I bought, and use this as a one man blind. I am not going to buy a 4'7"X4'7" tent and cry because two 250lb men aren't comfortable inside. Also I've seen bad reviews about the velcro mesh...IT'S SHOOT THRU MESH!!! Stop messing with it while your hunting.
The door is a problem. It's small, for no reason. I have face planted going into the blind a couple times. The zipper is loud (also on my $350 blind), and I feel it should have a fiberglass rod, with toggles as an option for while you're in the blind, so you don't scare every deer within 300 yards out of the county. This is a modification I will be making to all my blinds during the off season. The door has three zippers, leave the bottom one at the bottom. There are two loops at the bottom zipper, I have tied these two loops together. If you collapse the blind with the bottom zipper up, or the loops free, the blind will grenade on you.
The stakes are a joke. If you trust these to secure your blind, you should have to hunt it down after every gust of wind. Buy some real stakes. I use 3/8"x8" spikes with washers, and use the brush loops to tie off to trees.
I like that you can drop the windows halfway or fully. I just wish you could raise them halfway, but they are sewn at the bottom.
I have not brushed my blind in, and after 2 days have had deer and turkey walk up to it. 5 deer were taken within 10 yards this year.
Overall this is a good one person blind that can be setup in about 3 minutes. If you keep it out of direct sunlight, and remove it at the end of the season, I feel it will last several years.

Practice.
Like it does what is supposed to. Killed a deer in five hours on day two of season. Winner.
