Oh boy ... here we go again , this topic has been talked to death and talked to death again but to answer your question.
The Double Bull Blinds are simply the best on the market wheather you get the Matirx or the T5 , the quality of their product is outstanding and will last a life time.
The only other product that comes close to comparison would be the new ASAT Blind , they both have shoot thru screens that can be replaced due to use and time.
Check out their web sites and see for yourself or you could contact gregholland for the Double Bull and buckeyebuckhuntr for the ASAT , they are members on this site and they are dealers as well.
HardcoreHunter has both brands and he did a side by side comparison and writen a great review on both , Germ has both of them too , so he might shed a little light on the subject as well.

They may be the best brands on the market....but really weigh out how much your going to use it and if you could get by with a less expensive blind and a better treestand (or couple treestands for that matter)

Maybe so ... but once you have one , it will be last one you'll ever buy so you'll save money in the long run.
By the way the ASAT blind does cost less than the Double Bull.

you said it

I am a big fan of the ASAT Quickie by Eastman. They will stand behind their product and it is about half the price as a DB.

No way. Double Bulls stink. The Ameristep DogHouse rules the roost. Unlike your big noisy, shiny Double Bull, my little DogHouse sinks into low lying cover. And the tiny windows give me less chance of being spotted my deer. Did that irritate anyone?

But in all seriousness, maybe we spend too much time worrying about the best stands and blinds when I remember a certain HNI member whose first initial is T, last initialF and middle initial J, happens to see and slay huge bucks from the ground with no blind at all - just natural cover. Perhaps we should be worried about three things instead - location, location and location. And then find the simplest, easiest, most effective way to elude that huge buck.

I had 2 Ameristep Brickhouses....the first one broke on the second setup. Cabelas replaced that one (immediately) and sent me a brand new one. The second one lasted 6 setups until the fabric ripped through where the hubs connect.

Since Double Bull offers a factory direct discount for hunter education instructors I decided to give the matrix a try.

This blind is made for bowhunters.....PERIOD. There is no velcro or zippers to make noise. When the wind blows hard, the blind doesn't flap around. The material is superior....there is no comparison

In hindsight......I should have saved myself an additional $125 and not bought the Brickhouse.

Double Bull all the way. I have noticed expandables shoot semi-poorly through themesh, but fixed blades are awesome.

I bought mine for 5 reasons
1. Fabric - no shine
2. Warranty - LIFETIME
3. No FLoor to make abunch of noise every time i move my feet
4. Easy set up and take down
5. They gave me free stickers.

And plan to use it in 3 situations
1. Early season waterhole bowhunting whitetails where there are no trees
2. Turkey bow hunting
3. yote smackin this winter and spring

I love mine, but its just exactly what I want. Figure out what and why and buy accordingly.

all i need is the ameristep g30 and it only cost a 100

I've got an outhouse and a doghouse from Ameristep, both on clearance for less than $30. I'm by no means and great hunter, only one season. But my 7 year old and I used the outhouse and got a turkey 11 days into our firstseason turkey hunting.

I can't comment on how good top dollar equipment works because I don't have the money to spend on it. But I'm sure some others here are in the same position I am, if I spend more than $100 on a "glorified camo tent" I'd better be prepared to sleep in it.

Total cost of every hunting item I own is less than $4000 and that includes bow, gun, camo, stands, calls and everything. My Honda Rancher cost me $3700 of that. I'd like top dollar equipment, but if I can start my first turkey season and get a bird within 11 days on my own with clearance and used equipmentwith absolutely no experience at all, I think I'll stay on the cheap end of hunting.

I think the most valuable hunting tool anyone here owns is knowledge, and I'm willing to take any of that you guys are willing to give away.
