Default RE: Do I really need a double bull?

@ $35 a week my choice would be a limb saw and a 5 gallon bucket.

I mean no dis-respect.

I would go around your hunting area and make several natural blinds.

Pit blinds are absolutely deadly.

Blow down trees are great places to hide.

Movement/scent is what gets you busted.

I would call the guys at Double bull and buy some shoot-thru screen
about $20 worth should get you through the season. Take the screen and weave it into the brush so you can shoot through it while hiding your movement.

The trick to sitting still is a good chair with a back rest, $20 @ bass-pro
weight 6#.

The only thing you give up to a store bought blind VS a natural one is a little and I do mean a little scent control.

When building your ground blind and shoot thru screen system keep in mind how high your bow sticks up.

I would reccommend you team up with a buddy and help each other build half a dozen or so. Two heads are better than one, bring the camo you will be using and your bow. Take turns getting into the blinds and tweaking them to perfection.

For what it is worth I can afford the DB blind and chose the ASAT instead.

I happen to like the pattern better for set up and hunt same day hunting.

I also like the window system a little better. When Iused the DB Matrix the temptation to use the 360 degree window got me busted several times. This is my fault for being greedy (wanting to watch in all directions) not a fault of the blind.

With the ASAT I use 2 windows to shoot from and two little slits to watch from, my videohas in its own little window and am ready to go.

I have not used it yet, but I also like the ability to shoot out of the roof (duck blind style) which is something the ASAT has and the DB does not.

As far as quality goes,the cloth used on the ASAT and the DB is what sets them apart from cheap blinds -absolutly NO shine-or noise.

As far as quality goes , the internal framework is of equal quality IMHO.

Save your money, learn the craft in natural blinds and when you are ready buy your blind, like you buy a bow -

Try as many as you can and buy what you like.

Good luck - hope you get a big one
