pop up hunting blinds

[Ted Newgent 4,896]

pop up hnting blinds are really popular over here,quick and easy,boom they are up and you are out

of the wind and warm (ish).

so i have been using my mates primos xxl bull pen(the rolls royce of blinds) and its a nice blind.cost approx $500 on amazon

and 1/2 the price in the states,but finding a retailer who is willing to ship up north is a challenge.

i went in search of a blind for my own and stumbled across a few archery sites and the name getting banted around was Rhino blinds.

found the manufactures site and they had one on sale.emailed for a shipping quote and still waiting a month later for a price.

found a archery supply shop on amazon.com and he was selling the same blind cheaper and shipping was $30 to the door.

long story short,liked the first one so ordered two more!!

$255 CAD and its almost the same as my mates

 

here is some pics

mine is the one on the left in the first picture

Sounds expensive, what they like inside ?

my mate has one stored at my place, it has two chairs inside, with cup holders as well ! It's actually ok bit of kit, ideal for wary forbids, we put it out a week or two before we want to shoot so they get used to it.

 

dont think it cost anywhere near that though, will have to ask him.

they work out to 150 quid,thats a great deal me thinks

how much are pop up blinds back there?

 

you can buy cheaper ones from cabelas or canadian tire(canadian version of halfords/B&Q) but their material

is thinner and not UV protected.

inside there is nothing,you have to carry a camping chair and little gas heater

for some reason i didnt pay any duty,taxes (US or Can) or brokerage fees lol

i bought from a shop in Ohio and its was 3 1/2 days shipping to me 2 hrs north of saskatoon,sask.

hence why i bought 3 of these blinds

Never really bin one for blinds to be honest find them expensive for what they are..I prefer to find a natural blind for the back and sides of me then have a small net to drape in front
