Zero-Detect Turret Pop Up Blind

The Zero-Detect Turret XL Blind features a lightweight hub and fiberglass pole design with a scentless carbon protected interior and weatherproof polyester fabric. Windows on all sides of the blind give you superior vision, and a zippered roof hatch gives you more shooting and hunting options.

The Zero-Detect Turret Pop Up Blind features a lightweight steel frame, easy setup and takedown, and integrated portal windows with removable camouflage mesh.

Why Choose Zero-Detect Camouflage?

The Zero-Detect pattern is extremely versatile, making your blind disappear both in woodland terrain and grasslands. The unique color combination adapts to any environment and any hunting season. The green hues blend well with grass and brush, making the pattern well adapted to early season hunting. The darker brown hues blend well into wooded areas and are perfect for late season hunting. To top it all off, the white highlights add contrast and depth to the pattern, an element missing from many of the top camo patterns on the market.

Zero-Detect Camouflage Pattern

The Making of Zero-Detect

Steve Bursey, the owner and founder of Zero-Detect Hunting, is an avid hunter, artist, and businessman who set out to create a camouflage design that would eliminate rather than enhance the profile of a hunting blind.

His prior experience with other camouflage designs suggested that they outlined his profile rather than hid it. He was constantly being spotted by deer, turkeys, and other game. So Bursey set out to create his own camouflage pattern.

After weeks of experimenting in the field, Bursey’s task was finally complete. He had designed a camouflage pattern that blends flawlessly into field, forest, and hardwood environments and even takes into account the dead giveaway of the blind’s silhouette against a lighted sky background.

The Turret Pop Up Blind is "light, easy to set up, and easy to carry."

“I did a lot of research on this blind and many others before I decided on this particular blind. I think the three factors that helped me decide on this one were price, camo color and ease of operation.

…The 4 window combinations are very versatile allowing you different combinations of shooting angles. I think the blind will be just as user friendly for a bowhunter as well as for someone using a rifle. It is also big enough for two people to use without any discomfort.”

- R. Harrison

“This blind is pretty big and can accommodate two people. It is light, easy to set up, and easy to carry around thanks to the carry bag. You get a good blind for the money.”

- “Frenchie”
