I have three of these, and have learned lots of lessons. 1. Don't think the small black straps on the corners will hold it down well. In a wind, they will come apart, and the blind will blow away. Find some good, strong cords to tie to the black rings of the pull-out mechanism, and use those, together with some 12" landscaping nails, to keep it where you want it. 2. The mesh windows give good 180 degree visibility, but some go up and others down. The ones that go up wind up in a wad that partially obstructs your view. There is no way to secure them properly out of the way. 3. The blind pops up fine, but best to pop out the roof first. 4. The door zipper is noisy and takes two hands to make it turn the corner going from across to down. 5. There is plenty of room for two hunters and gear, but forget three. 6. It is strong enough to endure rain storms, and even some marble-sized hail without holes. 7. The sliders on the windows are smooth and quiet, but as the blind gets older, they will creep a bit from fully closed between uses. 8. The black interior and solid black back wall keeps you from being silhouetted from the front. But of the sun is shining from the left or right, into the blind, you will be lit enough to be seen from the outside, even with the mesh closed. 9. The roof is high enough for comfort, and roomy enough for archery. 10.The fabric is a bit shiny and reflective.
