Interesting point. At $250 for the blind (on sale from regular price of $299) plus $98 for a carry bag (which you will need if you don't want to be flashing away as you walk in and out of the woods; it is a bit high vs. getting a full concealment Double Bull Blind or the like. The full blinds also will keep you dry in the rain, not so the Ghost Blind I believe. Good luck if you get one. let us know how it worked out.

Not going to get a reflection of the deer because the blind leans forward just a tad, so as to only pick up the surrounding grass, branches etc. It will not reflect the sun or a deer, only what is within 4 to 5 feet of your blind. msman825 said: very good point, and i would think the wind would be moving it around See above, and it has tie downs that keep it pretty stable. You don't get any more movement in the wind, than you would get with any other blind. redkneck said: Still haven't looked at one in person. I still give it an A+ for innovation, and a D- for practicality. If I get a chance to use one, I'd gladly eat my words, but personally I like 360 degree concealment for areas I hunt, though they look awesome for stalking goats in the western states. I give it a A+ for practicality too. I got 2 last year at a really good price, and am very happy with them. So are my hunting buddies.

I never have had any vane problems with my WB, ever since I switched to Bohning vanes. You can't go wrong with Bohning. They're the toughest vanes on the market in my opinion. Am I going to try the Ghost Blind? We have 2, and love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are fortunate lucky on the WB, they consistently damage my vanes. That is why I moved to drop aways. I also noticed tighter groups with drop away. Good luck with the Ghost Blind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
