Default Ground blind?

I am trying to decide between


ASAT Reaper $180
Rhino XP-1 $220

Which blind would you choose? I have never had the opportunity to check either of these 2 blinds out.

Thanks,

David

Well if you haven't been able to check them out or investigate them then dont buy it!

I did that with my past two blinds and they turned to crap and didn't last a full year.
I just ordered a double bull dark horse and it came in the other day. I love it! It was on sale 100 bucks on cabelas so its only $300 now.

well I found a good deal on a rhino. Quality wise it is suposed to be up there with the double bulls. The asat blind is supposed to be good quality with excellent camo so I hear. I have never use the camo so I don't know. I will try to post a review on the blind.

Thanks

That would be a help TX! Post away after you use the Rhino.


I have used the Doghouse - it worked - I also used some other Avery Blind but it did not hold up well and then I bought a Double Bull and its on its 6th season

You can see the wear - but it will be a long time before I retire it!

Real turkey hunters don't use blinds.

I will give my thoughts on the blind as soon as I see it setup and working in the woods.

BTW when I turkey hunt with this blind I will only be bowhunting. Please cut me some slack !

Since 1999, I have always used a Double Bull Blind. I have several of them given to me by a good friend, Tim Wells. I have 7 different makes of Double Bull Blinds. They are all great! It just takes me 7 seconds to set one up and take one down. Never had one rip or tear on me. The older ones are alot lighter weight than the new metric blinds and the Dark Horse Blinds. You won't get a better quality than with a Double Bull Blind.
