Here’s a ground blind review on the 360 Hub Style from one of our customers, posted on the forum at USAHuntingPros.com:
Post Subject: KillZone 360 Hub Style Ground Blind
“Just got mine today and I can’t wait to try this thing out in the woods. I popped the blind up tonight inside and I couldn’t believe how easy it was.…
The size of this thing is awesome. From corner to corner 72”x72” and there is plenty of room for movement, seats, heaters, and two people can fit comfortably for those who like to film or hunt with another person.…
So far this thing looks awesome and I can’t wait to put it to the test come season to see how it holds up to the weather and outdoor climates. For the price, I don’t think you can beat it.”
In a follow-up post a few months later…
“Just an update on the blind. I used it all during turkey season and couldn’t of been more happy with my purchase. It withstood some nasty weather and high winds and did not once pull out from the ground or get any damage. The blind has plenty of room for two people and has quiet zippers and attachments to open and close the windows.
I rate this as the best blind I have purchased so far for its price.”

The 360 Ground Blind is the same generous size as the Turret XL. It’s roomy enough for bowhunters and boasts more than enough elbow room for hunting with friends, family, or kids.
Silent, quick release fastenings on the top edge of all windows and mesh allow you to silently adjust the windows or mesh while the game is within earshot. You have complete control over the field of vision, including complete concealment, open all around, or somewhere in between.
The KillZone 360 Hunting Blind features the latest in blind technology, including a scentless carbon black-out interior, shoot through mesh windows all the way around the blind, and a zippered roof hatch for waterfowl hunting.
At a low price of $119.99, this blind is a steal! Get yours now and experience the freedom of 360-degree vision!

The Turret XL is "durable and much more sturdy than other blinds." - V. Germeroth
Very nice blind. I searched for different hub style blinds and ran across this one, looked good so I ordered it and couldn’t be more satisfied. I set it up in no time and practiced out of it with my bow. Plenty of room to draw it back and room to spare. You could easily shoot a long axle to axle bow with this blind. Price was right and I’m glad I got it.
- A. Chavez
Was very easy to set up. I looked over the instructions like a man would, then set it up in the living room in about 10 minutes at the most, never set one up before. Thought I would get it for my son and I for the April youth hunt here in New York.
- William Clause
This is a high-quality product, exceeding our expectations. The material is durable and much more sturdy than other blinds we have, and set up was no more difficult than similar blinds. Fast shipping. Would buy again!

The Turret XL Ground Blind received an outstanding user review from the folks at LBK Outdoors.
Ryan Rooks, a bowhunter and senior field staff member at LBK, wrote up a product review for the Turret XL highlighting his favorite features, including its easy setup, roomy size, and blackout carbon interior.
Rooks culminates his review by saying,

“Wrap the whole package up with an Autumn Wooded Oak camouflage pattern and you have a great blind that sets up and tears down effortlessly at a great price that will definitely rival the big name companies for sure. Whether you are a Deer or Turkey hunter this blind would be a great addition to any hunters gear bag.”
Have you ever tried to open a Velcro wallet in the back of a silent auditorium? People way in the front will turn and stare to see where all that racket is coming from. The same thing can happen with the Velcro or zippered window on your ground blind. Except it will be deer who turn to stare instead of people.
Most hunting blinds use Velcro, zippers, or magnets–or a combination of these three–to fasten the doors and windows. Which type of fastener is on your blind makes a difference in how silent or noisy your blind will be. Velcro and zippers are noisier than magnets. Because of this, more blind manufacturers are moving toward the use of magnets instead of the traditional Velcro and zipper fasteners.
Where the Velcro, zippers, or magnets are located on the blind also makes a difference in how much of a noise problem they can create. A zipper for the door is less of a problem than zippers for the windows. Once you get inside the blind and close the door, you probably won’t need to open it very often. The fastenings on the windows and shoot-thru mesh, on the other hand, are more important because you may need to open or close a window while game is nearby.
Don’t let a noisy blind ruin the hunt. The best ground blinds use quiet fasteners to let you adjust your blind and windows as needed without alerting wildlife.
With all the different kinds of hunting blinds out there, we’ve put together a few tips to help make it easier to choose which blind will work best for your hunting style. Here are a few insights into the world of hunting blinds.
Of all the popular types of ground blinds, here are the four that we’re going to cover here: hub style blinds, pop up blinds, layout blinds, and chair blinds.
a
Hub Style Blinds
a
Hub Style Blind
Hub style blinds give you the greatest amount of “fidget” room when the waiting makes you restless. You’re free to move around from window to window without attracting the attention of wildlife. Your shadow and movement is swallowed up by the black-out interior and camouflage screens.
a
You also get great visibility, with large and small windows on all sides of the blind. On the downside, its more roomy interior makes the hub style blind more difficult to conceal, so if you’re trying to keep a low profile in an open area, it may not be the best choice for you.
a
Pop Up Blinds
Pop up blinds are easy to set up and easy to carry to your hunting spot. Like the hub style blind, you can move around without blowing your cover. You still get great visibility on all sides of the cover, but the pop up blinds are generally a bit smaller than the hub style, which makes them a little easier to conceal.
a
Layout Blinds
Layout blinds are popular for hunting waterfowl. With their low profile and small size, it’s easier to conceal the blind in open fields and stubble. You also get a great overhead view and shooting range, and since you’re lying down, you won’t get a crick in your neck from looking overhead, like you would in a sit-down blind.
a
Chair Blinds
The greatest asset of chair blinds is their convenience. Instead of carrying a blind and chair separately, you’ve got it all in one compact case. If you’re looking to cut down on the equipment you have to haul in, check out these chair blinds. You can get a smaller one for single hunters or a larger one for two hunters. Since you can only see out the front and sides, chair blinds are best for setups that don’t require 360-degree visibility.
