Has anyone of you ever used or know someone who has used one of those bow blinds. They are camo umbrellas that mount in your sabilizer hole and have a hole in 'em to see/shoot through. They look like a pretty neat idea to conseal your draw. Anyone? They claim it's really light. It only measures like 36". They claim it actual works like a sabilizer and reduced shock/vibration. Just don't know any one who has used one. Any one know who makes it? Or where to get/look at one?

i have seen them but never used one or know someone that has use one but i think that one would work good as hunting antelope or turkey hunting.

That's what I was thinking. Turkey hunting will a bow, it's real hard to draw without being busted. I really don't want to carry a full blind around when I runnin' and gunnin' for Gobblers. It's just to much to carry with all my decoys,calls, and bow. That thing would be attatched to my bow and I could just pop it open when needed.

I have not used one personally but I would have a hard time believing all of their claims without giving one a thorough workout. Drawing on a tom or buck typically involves movement with more than just the bow arm. That movement would be transferred right into the blind. Bush-looking or not, that movement is going to catch game's attention and potentially spook it.

As for it acting as a noise and vibration reduction device....it is lightweight and just an attachment to allow the umbrella section to open up then I don't see how it could do it. If the handle had some Sims Navcom material installed inside of it or was free floating like a doinker then maybe but without either of those I would be hard pressed to believe noise and vibration reduction.

Sorry for being the pessimist but they are just my thoughts.
