I've tried a lot of the ground blinds on the market and I always come back to the DB. I've tried to make myself like the other ones but there's always something that I don't like on them and it's usually related to the window system. I have not forund a window system on any other blind that works as well as the DB, whether it be the Matrix (favorite) T5 or T2. I spent about 2 hours at Cabelas looking at all of the various ground blinds yesterday and the DB always came out on top.

Will the cheaper blinds work? Sure they will and if that's all you can afford right now, then look at the Ameristep Brickhouse TSC for a down and dirty get it done type of blind. They can be had for a little over $100 and you will be able to kill animals from them. But once you ever spend any time in DB there's no going back.

While we are talking about the ASAT blind, how does the window system work? Velco, zippers, magnets, etc.... Since it's made by Eastman I have my guesses but I'd like to hear from someone who actually has one.
