Less than $100 and soooo much better than a Double Bull...

They are a great blind, but in no way are better than a D.B. I turkey hunted with a friend who had just bought one of the H.S. blinds. I was impressed, however, I think they are too small for most bowhunters. How, you say, since they are about 7' square at the bottom and over 6' tall? Because the sides slope inward hard. Think about it. The 6' tall bow hunter is on average around 4 1/2' from the tip of his draw elbow to the end of a reasonable stabilizer on his bow. That distance is about what is available from window to window across one of those blinds as I recall. Just too cramped for me. That is the same problem with most of the Ameristep models.

In my opinion, if you don't want to spend the money on a D.B., then get the Brickhouse. It is a similar concept, just cheaper fabric materials.

Now gun hunting is a different story. Any of the models out there will comfortably work for gun hunting. Bow hunting just requires more room than most have to offer.

There's my 2 cents. I obviously own a D.B. I had previously owned a Doghouse as well.
