360 Hunting Blind Review

360 Hunting Blind

360 Hunting Blind

The 360 Hub Style Ground Blind is great for turkey hunting, deer hunting, and even duck hunting with the zip-open roof window. It offers 360-degree visibility, with no blind spots where game can sneak by you.

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.”

Turret XL Hunting Blind Reviews

Check out these hunting reviews on the Turret XL Hub Blind from KillZone Hunting!

The Turret XL is durable and much more sturdy than other blinds. - V. Germeroth

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!

Ground Blind Fasteners: Keeping The Noise Down

Filed under: Ground Blinds — Tags: , , , — Esther @ 11:47 am

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.

Insider Info on Ground Blinds

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
  1. Hub Style Blinds
  2. a

    Hub Style Ground Blind

    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
  3. Pop Up Blinds
  4. 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
  5. Layout Blinds
  6. 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
  7. Chair Blinds
  8. 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.
