Primos The Club Ground Blind

First off, I have a Primo's Predator blind that is much bigger than this one. I can actually stand up in it. It is, however, too big for some of the tighter quarters I plan to hunt this fall, so I bought this one. I knew it was smaller when I got it. I'm 5'11", 200 lbs. Draw length is 29". I got the blind out today and deployed it in the yard and played around. I actually have to be a little careful drawing back or my elbow bumps the back wall. If you position it "caddy corner" to where you plan to shoot it is fine. But straight on front to back is a little tight. I only mention this b/c the advertisement says 2 bow hunters....Not two grown men bow hunters. Unless you guys are really close. Only person I want sitting that close to me is my wife. The predator blind I have has magnetic windows and the shoot thru mesh slides out of the way. This one calls the windows SS hooks and fast and quiet. While that is true, the mesh is VELCRO strapped in place and wont slide. You either remove it or....shoot thru it. Since I shoot mech heads, I plan to just remove it before taking it to the woods, which will suck b/c that screen helps hide you. I have had great success from the Predator blind and I am sure I will have more of the same with this one. I just found some of the advertising misleading and wanted to give anyone else a heads up. Is it a quality product? Yes. Will it do the job, yes. Is it big enough to hold two grown men without almost being in each others laps? No. Are the windows quiet? Yes but the Velcro mesh is not. The camo pattern is really good as well and there are plenty of brush holders across the top of it to help blend it in. A couple of my "SS hooks" are tight and its a bit tricky to get them hook in the loop but overall its not a problem. Good luck in the hunt!

I read mixed reviews prior to purchasing this hunting blind, but I thought I would take a chance since it was sold by Amazon, which makes for an easy return in the unlikely event it needed to be returned. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed by the lack of quality.1st - the box was taped using some brown tape, which I thought might be a previous return, but it is difficult to say for certain.2nd - The carry bag was torn away from where the carry strap attached to the bag. The bag itself felt barely capable of carrying the blind anyway.3rd - One of the fiberglass poles on one side was not even installed in its respective pocket.4th - there were two random places where nothing is sewn together but it looks like the sewing machine went wild and punched a bunch of holes in two sides in a V pattern.5th - The zippers for the windows were mangled and barely functioning along part of their path.6th - One of the clips to hold the bungee to keep the windows closed (so you don't have to use the zipper during a hunt) was installed upside down, so that the opening was on the bottom instead of the top.7th, the stitching poked fairly large holes in the material; everyone sure to leak. Seems like there must be a better way.I opened the box, set it up for inspection, packed it back up and returned it to my local UPS store within an hour on unboxing. I will keep searching for a better product. :(

A hunting blind is a rather simple concept, yet manufacturers can’t seem to get the design quite right. This model assembles quickly, better than other hub-style blinds I’ve used. Is roomy enough for one adult in a sitting position, does not utilize mesh window covers, and the pattern blends in well.The drawback is the poor window design. The corner windows flop back inside the blind with no mechanism to secure the fabric. The covers are stitched in a manner that prevents them from laying flat and traps rain water. This consumes interior blind space and creates snags for broadheads when positioning for a shot. . Side windows and the entrance corner are zippered, which generates additional noise. The interior side pockets don’t have my drain holes and are filled with rain water every time I visit the blind. I would call this a well constructed but poorly designed hunting blind.

It is very roomy for a single hunter. I have no issue drawing a 30" bow inside. It should also be roomy enough for a father/child gun hunt where the child is the only shooter. I think it would be too small (and possibly too dangerous) for two shooters.It appears well made. This is my first "shoot-through" blind and I think that feature will work well within bow range (as an aside, I'm pretty old school--I have never used expanding broadheads so I have no idea whether they would open or not when contacting the screen material. I shoot either 2 blade Patriots for my recurve and 3 blade chisel point Rocky Mountains for my 25 year old Continental compound. I bought what I hope to be a lifetime supply of both from ebay a few years ago.)The screen material is just dense enough that it obscures a good view at low light and/or long range and it eliminates any advantage gained by even top-notch optics (Swarovski SLC 10X42). For this reason, during rifle season, I think its prudent to open the screen material just enough so you can get a good view through binoculars or scope.

I had a few issues with this one. First, there are tabs that you hook the window in order to close them. These were missing on a couple windows, making it impossible to close up a window. One of the hubs was very difficult to open, and when it did, it would be crooked, requiring adjustment each time. The fabric was so tight once the blind was popped up, I think it would rip very easily. It was under so much tension that the window was much larger than the mesh that is supposed to go into it, so I could not use the mesh.The slit for the door - I am hardly able to fit a bow + quiver through the opening it is so small. I would have lived with this problem, but due to the quality control on the product, I sent it back.
