New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Just when you thought it couldnt get any better. Double bull is releasing a new blind for 2008. It is called the "Dark Horse" and has a brand new camo pattern. They are phasing out the deception pattern for this new one. They said it is superior to the deception pattern.
The blind itself sounds awesome. One half of it is like a matrix and one half is like a T5. You would probly use the matrix side most of the time and it something came in from behind you it would be easy to turn around and drop the flap and shoot.
That was the only bad thing about the matrix. If something came in behind you it would take longer to quietly open the back side without spooking the animal.
Also, double bull has been bought out by Primos. I didnt think double bull could get any better but if anyone can do it Primos can.
Now I am going to have to sell my matrix and get one of the dark horse's! :thumb:

I will post more info and pics when it is available

So, they're getting rid of the deception pattern? Are they moving on from Predator all together or am I misunderstanding? That was one of the things I liked about my Double Bull(s). It was the only pattern I've found on a blind that I really like and have faith in.

I can't believe that they sold out to Primos though... Kind of disapointing in a way, at least to me.

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Nope, dissapointing to me too, Dan. Prob going to be Mossy Oak, thats the wagon the primos boys are on[:'(]

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

I dont think it is disappointing at all. I think it will make double bull even better. Look what Primos did for pse and now the fred bear bow lines. It should take double bull to another level

They are getting rid of the deception camo over time. This new one (it isnt mossy oak or realtree!) is supposed to be deception all to heck.

Not always the case. Where I hunt, there's barely a tree in sight.

I too am disappointed at the sale to Primos and the change in camo.

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Funny you should ask. I just so happen to have the last U.S. made matrix in the original deception camo. It has the lightweight rods too which cost extra but take off almost 5 lbs. It is new in the box so it would be pretty pricey.

You guys havent even seen the new camo yet. How can you be disappointed? They assure me it beats the deception camo all to heck.

This is NOT the new camo they are coming out with in the photo. This is a special edition blind they are making for mathews dealers.

Do you really believe they'd tell you Yeah, we wish we could still getDeception because this stuff isn't near as good... :eek:

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Welcome to the forums, Alex.

The reason I'm disapointed without seeing the new camo, is because there was nothing wrong with the deception pattern on it already!! In fact, it was perfect, IMO. Why did they change it? Because they sold to Primos? I can't help but think it's going to have to be mossy oak with Primos owning them. Thats one of their biggest sponsors.

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

I'll be honest.....as a Matrix owner.....

I wouldn't give you $150 for the "Mathews" clad DB blind.

But that's just me....;) I have no ties to PRedator AT ALL.....but it wasn't "broke".

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Ditto that, Jeff.

I'm just really disapointed that Double Bull sold out to Primos. Unless they were in financial jeapordy, I honestly don't understand their selling out. Now we'll get mass produced blinds with PRIMOS plastered all over it... Just like everything else out there...

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Disappointing though it may be, can you really blame them?? They built the business from the ground up, worked hard for several years, and now just made a PILE of money. They can retire and hunt from here on out, w/out the worry of running a business.

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

x2...except im not even a matrix owner:D... yet.....looks like ill have to grab one up quick before stores restock with the new camo[&:]

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

If everything I'm hearing (in this thread) is true.....and I was looking for a blind.....I'd call Scott Abbot (sp?) / Buckeye up and order the Eastman (is that right???) in ASAT in a MINUTE!

I wouldn't even PONDER the DB. The camo was almost THE selling point for that company. Unless they're making a 40% larger scale enigma DB.....

Well....I wouldn't kick a hog in the ass for the one shown.

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

My ASAT is looking better all the time . . . . .

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Exactly right, Donnie... I read last year a fascinating interview with the guys about literally sleeping in cars and being WAY broke as they chased their dream to get Double Bull over the hump... kudos to them if they've reached a point where they can sell and live off the rewards of their efforts from here on out.

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Well, I am interested in seeing what they come out with. I like new products.

...but then again I am not an open-pattern kind of guy so the move away from Predator doesn't bother me.

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

I think the new "Lost" camo on the Mathews DB looks pretty good?
Sure looks good on all the DXTs I have been selling:D

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

I will post some photos of the new camo as soon as they are available.

You can start serving the crow... to me.

Double Bull's new Ground Swat camo is sick. Open like Deception but higher contrast. One of the archery trade rags we get at work featured a full page spread on the new blind, and I'm definitely stoked to see one in person. This is going to be a hot blind this year, no doubt. I'll be wanting one for myself, for sure.

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Rick, My Double Bulls worked Awesome in Nebraska this year (see my post) http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2525801

I am anxious to get one of the new ones so keep me informed. The Deception was great, but if they have a better pattern I want one of those too:D

Dan

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

I will keep you guys posted. I cant imagine a better blind from what they are telling me.

I for one am happy for Keith & Brooks. They literally lost everythingto get the business going so they obviously deserve their success.

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Is it just me or does anyone else have trouble shooting out of a blind because their rearward elbow hits the back wall while the bow hits the front wall and the top limb is touching the ceiling? I've got to shoot almost corner to corner not to be cramped and I'm only 6'1". The only reason I haven't bought a Double Bull is that I haven't been able to get in one and check it for clearance.

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Rob, I have both the Matrix and the T2 and have not had any trouble shooting from either one;)

Dan

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

How much do you want for your Matrix?

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

I have the same issue. I have a DogHouse blind and I can't even use for bowhunting because the bow hits the front. But like you, I also haven't sat in the DB yet.

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

In my opinion the doghouse is much to small for bowhunters.

You should have plenty of room to draw in the matrix even if you are 6'1" but in case you cant double bull does offer a recurve model which is much larger.

rick

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

Am I correct in assuming the products will be made overseas now? If so I'm looking for an older model

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

My DoubleBull was a Godsend in Nebrasks late season. I plan on hunting out of a Double Bull more than ever in 08. I will be getting a New Dark Horse as soon as they are available;)

Dan

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

"Dark Horse."Good name.

No...

GREAT name!

I can only hopethat their product lives up to the lofty standards associated with the league of extraordinary gentlemen that is its namesake.

*ahem*



...as my ego grows even LARGER!

RE: New Double Bull Blind for 2008!
 

I can't imagine anything bad coming from Primos buying out the Double Bull guys. The way Primos runs business is second to none, not to mention their R&D team.

I imagine they will be coming out with some truely innovative products in thr ground blind business in the future.

I would think that they would keep Keith and Brooks around as consultants for new ideas for the blind.

Can't wait to see it!
