RE: ASAT BLIND
 

the kidd,
It came out around the middle of January and that is when it was showcased by an ASAT dealer on Archery Talk. I posted this thread in January and I just brought this thread backup to the front pagetoday now that I have the blind.

RE: ASAT BLIND
 

well that blind i know others that have bought it last year but a different color....well good luck with it ...it dont matter about others opinions as long as you like it thats what matters

RE: ASAT BLIND
 

hardcore, I don't see (might have missed it) where you mention how long it's taking to get it set up. How about some comments on set up/pack up? Also, I was just looking at the ASAT sight and see the specs say weight is 22lbs.,is that correct? Thanks

RE: ASAT BLIND
 

Sets up in 30 seconds as advertised. Just like a DB sets up. Putting it away in the backpack is easier than the DB pack is because it has a heavy duty zipper than runs the entire length of the backpack, unlike the DB one that requires you to slide it into a sock.

Sweet.....

I liked the photo of all 3 of them together.... gives a good visualization on the blind rather than just seeing photos of it by it's self.

I hope you and your boy make some great memories with it in the field for years to come.

Buckeyebuckhunter,
I appreciate your promptness with my order. You received my payment and sent me a PM notifying me that my payment had arrived and you told me 2-4 business days and it would be at my door. Two business days later it was at my door!!!! You are a great man to do business with and I recommend Scott to anyone and this ASAT blind. HAPPY CUSTOMER here.

RE: ASAT BLIND
 

My ASAT dealer(Buckeyebuckhuntr) just sent me a PM and he wanted my honest opinion on this blind with no sugar coating and what complaints that I have on the blind if any. This is my reply:

Honestly none. I have only played with it; set it up three times, sat in it, tore it down. If I was to place both of these blinds next to each other(the DB and the ASAT) with people that had never heard of either, I would bet that the majority of people would think the ASAT cost more. Both are made out of high quality,thick poly cotton. They both look like they were made by the same manufacturer in China. The ASAT has better brush ties, better tie outs on the hubs, the roof has a different rope on it than the other hubs so you know which hub is the roof, better windows to shoot thru instead of clumped up, wadded up netting like a Matrix, the BS5 window has to be resewn in to replace the netting where the ASAT can be exchanged with a new one simply by velcroing a new one in. I have never shot an arrow through a netted window yet on any of my blinds, but I would think it would be safe to say that a taunt window netting would be more accurate to shoot thru than a wadded up clump like the Matrix. The windows can be totally zipped shut to keep out wind if you choose to where the DB can't. The windows can still be used silently with the plastic hooks exactly like the feature on the DB. The ASAT pretty well offers 360 degree shooting with the 8 large windows. The backpack is awesome, the padded shoulder straps make carrying the blind comfortable and the DB carrying sock has always been my only gripe about the DB.The DB sock is hard to load the blind in or carry it, while the ASAT carrier unzips for loading. Great product that Eastman and ASAT turned out. At nearly $200 cheaper for the ASAT with no sales tax and free shipping you offer, it is going to be a huge seller IMO and is the 1st blind to give DB competition or be in the same league of quality like a DB.

hardcorehunter, If you still have the blinds up (I doubt it because I see you put the pics in 2 days ago) would you post the 3 together with the faceing windows unzipped?I'm thinking that they areclosed in the pics and just wonder what the differance would be becausein other pics itlooks like the ASAT mesh has their camo print on it and I'm not familiar with the DBL Bulls. If possible thanks and if not still thanks for the ones you gave us.

RE: ASAT BLIND
 

BKE, the wind is howling and it is cold out, so not today. The DB's net is a camo print to match the blinds' predator pattern and the ASAT uses ASAT netting in its' windows. Hope this helps.
