We use a Matrix anda Dark Horse and even have an older T5, I have set these blinds up hundreds of times and have never had any sort of breakage issues? Are you sure you know how to set them up properly? There are obviously ways to collaspe the blind that could cause this issue. Perhaps you should slow down a bit while you taking them down. There are simply FAR to many hunters on this forum and many, many other forumsthat use these blinds regularlyand have NEVER experienced any of your issues.

IF you have actually had problems with all 3 of the blinds that you've owned than I would have to believe that it's YOU that's the problem. There simply must be something you're doing wrong here? [&:]
