Title: Blind for disabled Jakes Hunters
Post by: Sir-diealot on July 22, 2019, 08:54:48 PM
Just wondering if anybody has used this blind before? I am thinking of donating one to my local club for the Jakes or Jr. Hunting season hunts they do every year so maybe some disabled kids (Those in wheelchairs) can get out and hunt. The back of this one flips open like a garage door to allow wheelchair access) Do you maybe know of a better one in about the same price range? Thanks. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/guide-gear-camo-flare-out-5-hub-ground-blind?a=1581739

Hoping to find something this style. I have a Pentagon blind that has tons of room in it but the door is just a slit, I find it hard to get into myself so I know there is no way to get a wheelchair in there unless you pick it up and put it over the top of person every time which would get old after a while. Looking for something a wheelchair could access easily.

Agree some doors on blinds can be a pain in the butt ....

My friend when I take him out I just pop up the blind then roll it over us and push in the stakes done.

I thought about that, figured this would be easier, especially if doing it many days in a row.

I am not saying that is all bad but I would like the person to feel a little independent as well, that is why I am interested in this style.

I haven't done a lot of research on blinds but the concept of that one looks excellent for the purpose.


My Herter's XL from Cabela's has the zipper on the corner so it could work but not nearly as well.

I have a Pentagon blind but it also just has the zipper on the edge. I find it kinda hard to get into myself sometimes.

You would have to make sure the user has plenty of quiet room to open it so it won't rub against a bunch of stuff

Yes sure would, coming in on a wheelchair I am sure they would have to as well.
