RE: Need advice, seasons almost here!
A buddy of mine bought one and said that they are very tough to use on windy days. They flap around too much in the breeze both making noise and getting in the way of shooting. I've never used one but I suppose his comment makes sense. He did mention that his blind was on the cheaper side so possibly it's only an issue with the lower quality models. Beyond that, I would try to setup in a spot that's slightly elevated allowing me to see a little farther.
