Default blinds

Looking to buy a blind for bow hunting & wanted to know what is the most simplest blind to erect & take down, & get back in the bag to carry.

I use an Ameristep Doghouse and like it. May take awhile to figure out how to fold up, but it's pretty fast when you figure it out.

I am very happy with my Big Game Treestands Escape DX. It is of the hub-style design. Basically you pull it out of the bag and then just "pop" each wall (and the ceiling) out. Ready to go. That simple.

I have used several of the Ameristep blinds in the past (Doghouse, Penthouse, etc..). Once you get the folding-together part down they are incredibly easy to use as well.

There are alot of good reviews on Ameristep blinds but I bought the Ameristep Bully Blind on clearance and took it back b/c it was nearly impossible to set up with one person, it took playing a game of Twister to hold down the corners to get it to pop up. Once it was set up though it was cool.

I find the Ameristep Brickhouse very easy to set up and take down. The bag also has more than enough room. I can usually fit the blind and a small folding chair in the bag with no problems

Closeing up an Ameristep blind is like folding up a band saw blade,once

Which blind give the most room during bowhunting? I am going to go bowhunting for the first time next year and would like to use a blind before a tree stand( I have never used a tree stand) and want something I will be able to draw back in?
