I reaserched them this summer, I set up variuos models, checked prices and talked to as many people as I could who use ground blinds alot. I ended up purchasing a Double Bull BS-5. They are pricey but built to last and with features and designed by guys who hunt the ground all the time.(hardcore) So far my son and I have had a great time hunting in it! And yes, you can shoot deer out of it. Our average shot opp so far this year is about 18 yards.

Good Luck!
