I believe several people were confused by my disappearing act on an earlier post. So this time I will make it easier to see exactly were I'm at even though I'm still hidden from view. All I'm doing is sitting down in a chair behind a "mirror" blind (actually called ghost blind). I'm 14 yds in front of camera with a target deer 3 yds from me. I"M IN THE MIDDLE OF AN OPEN FIELD WITH SUN DIRECTLY IN MY FACE. You should be able to make out the blind but have to admit it is still difficult to grasp what you are seeing. [img] [/img] Next picture I'm standing up from the chair acting like I'm about to shoot. You do not need to raise up to shoot. There are several shooting ports with plenty of clearance for bowhunter. [img] [/img] The next photo shows it from the back. [img] [/img] And last pic shows it ready for transport. [img] [/img] Very light weight and has tie down straps for all your equipment. Personally I only need is a chair or stool and my Z7 bow and I'm good to go. Never let wind dictate where you can go to hunt. If you can get to an area without bumping the deer, then your set up potential is almost limitless.

Down side for most is price. I buy so much equipment (fish ,hunt,golf) that I don't remember exactly but I believe it was between $200-$300. There are different models but I got the large. Handy if you have someone else hunting with you.But if your like me and put 2-3 new stands up on properties every year, then this can off set that need. But just the shear versatility it brings to the table is what sealed the deal for me. Was certainly skeptical but since I got it in my hands late season last year, I have been loving it. AWESOME for turkeys and coyotes. Bow hunt coyotes with this thing and you might just find a new passion.

Would be great for gun hunting but kind of small shooting lanes for bowhunting.I would like to try one but they are way over priced.
