Here is my "Half booty blind" on my Phowler Extreme 1854 36PD FPR. All Homemade except Instagrass. Personally i do not drink the Avery koolaid but thats just me no flame intended. I know what i like and I know what works.... so i build it myself. Run my pooch off the back. Hunts 3 comfortbly. All hunters ( especially heads) are hidden. Can flip top or stand to shoot. One man operation set up in less than a minute.
i like'em low profile.

breaks down in less than 1 minute or 2 minutes and stores nicely. Seats can move anywhere on the floor for weight distribtuion. I can run 3 seats with foldown backs ( only 1 shown) Now i need to say this, it is not celebrity or Mojo Spinner endorsed. just Sunflower Co redneck generated.....

it almost looks like a small pit blind in a boat. what is it made out of and how do u get it to stand up? anyway u could shoot me some plans on it? it looks comfortable as hell, do u sit in boats seats or do u have little bench or something under there. I really like it looks easy to setup and easy to build i would really like some plans on it if u could draw it out. I have a 1752 F and F u think it would work in that.
