They are Final Approach layouts. Belong to a buddy of mine... I'm not quite sure of the exact model, but will check for you. In the meantime, here's a pic from today's duck hunt...
I tell you, that is one tired pup.

The model we used were the FA Eliminator Pro Guide. Here's a link to the product on Cabela's website.

This was the first time I've hunted in a layout so I can't help you with the others. That said, I liked these blinds very much. They were very easy to set up; opened up no problem when the birds came in. The only thing was I found that you are hidden better when you close the flap with the screen on it first. The only downside on that is you need to pop your head up a bit to see the steeper angles on either side when the birds are coming in. The day we hunted, the screens helped a great deal in keeping the glare from the rising sun out of our eyes.
Good luck.
