Did anyone check out the new low profile ground blind from Alps Outdoors / Z Ground Blind Deception at the NWTF convention.. it's for the low profile chairs...?
I saw it on their website and the video NWTF had on their Facebook page during convention. I plan on having one before season. It looks to be the ticket for being lightweight and maneuverable.
JUST ORDERED ONE WE SHALL SEE!
You think they are big enough to get 2 in there like a guy and a youth hunter. man I hate blinds but sometimes keeping kids still is 10x harder then working a bird in

At 56" inside width it could be done, but it doesn't leave much room to move if the birds don't come in as planned.
I'd like to see a video of set-up and takedown, more about inside the blind, and views looking out, sitting in a chair.

Not sure why more companies don't flood Instagram and Facebook with pictures and videos of new products I actually went looking for something to share or send to a buddy on it and couldn't find anything other then their website.

Looks interesting. Good for those days when a sudden downpour might pop up.

I don't know why they don't have a rep post here. Depending on how much they'd post they may need to become a sponsor but I can't imagine it would be much of an inconvienence for them.

Some companies have the digital age figured out and others still think a website is enough. First lite camo was adding or redesigning 30 products for 2018 they released a short video on every piece or product line to instagram, facebook, and youtube leading up to the show season and did 20min walk through videos at their booth they also had product testers and company reps answering questions on a thread on a popular western forum (Rokslide) the thread was like 20 pages last I saw and the products aren't even available for purchase yet and most guys know exactly what they want and what sizes will work ect.
That is how you connect with a consumer and create buzz, it takes like 1 marketing social media position if they're good and some of the best at that job are people right out of college so it doesn't take tons of $$$
Any discount code to use online?
I saw the blind there. It was pretty cool.

I took a gander and sat in it for a minute at the show...would be neat for solo hunts that you planned to just sit in one spot for an extended period of time. I can't imagine putting an infant in there with me, though, much less a child old enough to go hunting with me. One person maximum, in my opinion.
I purchased this one at the NWTF Convention. It's a nice , light blind. It has the slide windows and a large entry door. They sold out the first day and I purchased the display one for $90.00.
Here's a couple pics.
Sorry about the pics
I'll try again.

What tripod are you using? I was thinking about getting a Bog-Pod because I had surgery on what would be me fore stock shoulder and won't be able to hold the front of the gun up but it does not allow for elevation adjustments. I thought I saw one that lets you do both adjustments in the Bass Pro Shops catalog but I can't find it now.

That's the ( small ) Primos Generation 3 tripod Trigger Stick.
I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks like it will work great in that little blind.
Okay, thank you very much for the reply. Best of luck to you this season.

I really like the blind, i see one in my future....
Mine is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I really like the looks of it.
I got mine yesterday, does anyone need any pics. or have questions about the blind?

A picture of the inside with a lounger chair. Do you think you could fit a 3 year old in it?
How easy is it to set up and take down?
How easy is it to move around once inside?
How much headroom do you have after sitting in a lounger chair?
Thanks in advance for the input.
Pic of it folded up to show packed size and a pic to show how much leg room while sitting in it would be great
I'm 6'0" and weigh about 285. I bought the blind and I fit comfortably in it. Hunting the birds I do I generally sit for extended periods of time. I think this little guy is going to be great. It takes some practice getting used to setting it up but once you've got it it isn't a bit deal. The sliding windows are great, very quiet and easy to increase the gap size if you need more room in a pinch. I ordered one of their oversized chairs to sit in while using it and it's going to be great... I might end up taking a nap or two. The blind weighs 8 pounds and the carry bag comes with double straps so you can wear it like a back pack. When I know I'll be sitting for awhile, I don't use a vest and instead I carry a small bag with all my calls etc. The chair, blind and bag are going to work great for the long sits. Chomping at the bit but we've still got over a month to go.

Do you need different pictures than what was posted before by ALLJOKEDUP? Yes, you and a 3 year old will fit.

Set up and tear down is a breeze.
Plenty of room on the inside.
Plenty of head room.

The bag is very narrow once it's all packed up. Look at ALLJOKEDUP's pictures for the leg room.
So I will put this out there. If you are using a bow or crossbow, you need to be mindful of the flexible frame as it runs through the window openings. I usually stick the shotgun out the window, so you shouldn't have much of an issue.
Thanks Mr. Brumfiel.
Yes Sir!
It's not a bad looking blind but it's surely not built for more than one.
Yeah, it's really for one. Maybe a child and an adult but not for two adults.
Set mine up today and sat in it. Man they did a great job with this one and the windows are great. Little tight but managed to get the chair in the same carry bag. Going to like this one i believe.
This is actually funny..... just before last season, I bought several child-size tents and other small tents.... all in camo, just to make a small portable blind for use with a turkey lounger. Didn't turn out half bad actually and the one I settled on weighs about 2 lbs and fits in the back of my vest. Total cost was $18 and about an hour of labor to cut and secure edges of windows with Shoe Goo.... Should have patented the thing..... LOL
Best wishes to all for a great season....
Call me a dummy, and I have 2 Double Bull hub blinds, but I received my Deception blind yesterday and I managed to have it tangled up twice trying to practice set-up and take down. I'll have it down pat by turkey season...I hope. :newmascot:
I like mine so we'll that I ordered another one for a friend
Nice little blinds.
And C. Brumfiel it's allchokedup . lol
I still want to see a photo of it folded up and next to something as a size reference.
That little blind would be the ticket for solo running and gunning on bad weather days and is a darn cool idea.

I'm gonna blame it on auto correct... haha!
Just got this blind in the mail and all though I have yet to hunt out of it I am so far convinced it will be a game changer. Well built, more than enough room, and super comfortable to be able to hunt out of a gobbler lounger type chair. I give it two thumbs up
Who has them available for purchase besides Mack's and Alps Outdoorz themselves??
Somebody please post up a picture of it folded up next to a vest so that I can see a size reference.
Thanks.
I got a couple from amazon last week. I think they're great.

Thanks for the size reference picture. I think I'm going pull the trigger and order one too. Perhaps the perfect solution for solo hunts on days when the weather is questionable.
