I have been struck by luck by your hunting blind and I'd like to explain why. I was on my way up north a few years ago on my way to Mackinaw City on vacation with my family when all of a sudden my son told me that he saw a neat gun blind for sale on the side of the road.
Needless to say, our family of 3 are all hunters, so I quickly turned around the Tahoe and went back to the side of the blind. When I got out and started to inspect it with my son Bryce, who is 12, and my daughter Taylor, who is 14, the lady met me at the blind.
She explained that her husband had just died and that she was selling his hunting things and this was the first thing to go. After examining the blind from head to toe and seeing what a solid, yet light blind it was, and I asked her what she was asking for it. She told me that he had only used it the previous year and she was asking $100 for it. After discussing it with my kids (and they were begging me to buy it) I bought the blind on the spot. I told the lady that I'd pick it up in one week once I returned from my vacation.
I just want to say that this has to be one of the best built blinds, if not the BEST, for the money. I had been hunting out of a blind that I built some 10 years ago and talk about a brut. It must weigh well over 300lbs and it was only about a 3x3, barely enough room for myself and one of my children, let alone both of them. And we were always cold as it had no room for any heater. Now, we all can sit very comfortably together during our hunt. We talk about the things we see and I make sure that it is a "Hunting Class" for them and not just a killing season. We also talk about life issues and I couldn't imagine a better place to bond with your children.
To make a very long and very beautiful and fulfilling story short, both of my children were able to hunt this year during the youth hunt and they both harvested their deer. During the November gun season, my son was able to harvest a nice 7 point with a 17" spread on my birthday (11-19) all while on camera. It is something that I'll never forget and I wanted you to know how much your blind has impacted our lives together. Our family has fallen in love with the Shadow Hunter and we'd like to say "Thank You" for your unique and inventive design.
I'll be a the Huntin' Time Expos @ Birch Run and Grand Rapids and I hope to see your blinds on display.
A very satisfied father and teacher of the sport!?
