layout blinds

Postby Dr. B » Mon Dec 10, 2007 9:17 am

Any of you guys hunt out of these? I just put together a Final Approach Eliminator. I'm not the smartest guy in the world but that was the most effed up design and assembly I've ever seen. I've put swing sets together that were easier. And when you fold it up, there are no shoulder straps, just a hand grip to carry it like a suitcase. The doors don't stay closed when it's collapsed for transport and no bungee to keep it all folded up. Is it just me or have you guys experienced the same thing?

I have hunted out of Finisher blinds many a time, and they were designed by a chinese fire drill team, too.
So many ducks, so little time....

Ground Force is the easiest-to-setup full-framed blind I've used.

Fold it out, slide two pieces together on the doors, flip out the seat brace and brace under your knees and you're set. No pins, buttons, clips, etc.

B, call mullet. He has about 7 of those blinds and was on FA's pro staff. I'm sure he could give you some pointers. I have a finisher and it was little tough to get together but its not too bad to transport so long as you can haul it around in the 4 wheeler.

I tried to get mullet to head over there with me this weekend, but his wife vetoed that plan. Being a bachelor has its benefits during duck season.
