I picked up deer hunting again after a 30-year hiatus; I've hunted from this blind and from a variety of tree stands. I have yet to kill a deer from anything but this blind. Set it up about 2-3 months before the season starts and take it down at the end of the season. Great for cold or damp weather hunting. It is tight for 2 grown folks but works fine with only one weapon. Negatives - Velcro is very noisy. It has side windows with mosquito netting to cover the windows. The netting attaches using velcro; you have to either not use the netting or remove it prior to hunting on the day of the hunt. Once you learn how to fold and unfold the blind (difficult to understand at first), it's the easiest setup and take-down process ever. Make sure to stake it down and tie it down so that it doesn't blow away. I'm about to buy 1 or 2 more.

This is a great blind for the price. Here are some cons I found with it:

1. The windows sit very low. If you are like me and want to sit in a lawn char inside the blind, the windows are so low you have to be kneeling down inside to fire from the blind. There is no way possible to sit in a lawn chair and shoulder your weapon, your muzzle would be above the window for a 5'10" man. The windows are low to the ground for some bizarre reason.

2. This is for 1 person comfortably. 2 people in lawn chairs would be a tight fit, and there's no way 2 people could fit with 1 firing a weapon.

3. The fabric has a lot of small holes in it when you get it. If you sit inside of it you can see small holes shining light through all over the product. Might get a little wet if you're out there in the rain.

I purchased this for my husband as a Christmas gift.
He loves it, he said it was the best blind he has ever had.
It is very well made.
