I was looking at the Penthouse TSC.In Cabela's it's 159 dollars for the Tangle camo pattern and 199 dollars for the Mossy Oak New Break Up pattern.
I've never seen either pattern up close.Is the Mossy Oak pattern really worth 40 dollars more?
If you were buying a hunting blind for archery,what would it be?Thanks for your opinion.

Both patterns are going to do the same thing IMHO. Neither are all that good, but I am sure they will both get the job done as long as you are concealed well inside. They turkeys didn't seem so mind mine at all this year, even when in the middle of a field. I had a jake come in and attempt to mount a decoy 10 yards in front of me when I was in the middle of the field with no cover.

I have the doghouse too and like it but got a new and much bigger blind for this year.
I checked out a few of the bigger blinds - including the Penthouse - before purchasing the Groundmax Escape Deluxe. It ran me $150 at Cablea's.
I like it because its a big hub style blind that allows me to take standing shots if I want and has shoot through windows all the way around. The biggest selling point is that the window flap can be raised and lowered silently from the inside so I can adjust as needed during the hunt without a lot of zippering and commotion and such.
I think the camo works quite nicely as well. Got it set up and started to brush it in in our woods on Sunday so the deer get used to it. Can't wait to try it out. Took a doe from 20 yards from a ground blind last year and its a rush doing so from the ground.
Here's a few pics of what the blind/camo looks like...

NO MATTER WHAT CAMO PATTERN YOU CHOOSE THE KEY IS THE LOCATION OF THE BLIND AND HOW YOU "BRUSH IT IN". AS LONG AS YOU CAN MAKE IT BLEND IN WITH THE SURROUNDINGS IT WILL WORK REGARDLESS OF PATTERN.

I have their Outhouse model in Tangle , it works very well in a hardwoods setting . MO is really too dark for most settings outside of a dark swamp , save your money . I'd shop around a bit more too , those aren't the only patterns that blind is available in .
