Hate posting because I'm sure this is already on TA somewhere but I didn't find.

My Aggie buddy and I are going to put out 2-4 new blinds, probably all on 10' towers. Rifle/bow.

What's best blinds y'all have used? I'd like to have room for me and my two sons and another adult, plus it would be nice for room for the girlfriend to sleep if needed.

We've looked at:
Redneck
Shadow Hunter
ASF
Texas Hunter
Dillon
HB
Monarch
Tank Blinds.

Thanks.

Four people, I have an 8x8 thats pretty comfy. Can have multiple shooters facing different directions. Also have an 8ft round that is a little tighter but works. Wouldnt want to go much smaller.

We have used multiple brands over the 30 years at our ranch. I like Texas Wildlife Supply for metal and Dillon for fiberglass.
We had others on your list but they simply did not hold up well.

Well as far as blinds I would look at Atascosa and avoid Boss. I'm sure that they can make them that big. I've got two Krivoman ground blinds that could probably be put up high and about 8' da. Think that might be tight for four.

Oh come on. You don't want the time suck and frustration of building your own?

Spent yesterday de-skinning mine. Will cut metal and raise the roof 6" so I can stand in it. Then reskin. Then build a platform.

I like the ones they sell at Ace hardware my single has held up great for 5 years and is going strong but I think their double would be too small for what you are planning. Just wanted to add you don't have to spend a ton to get a decent blond that will last years.

If I can get a decent blonde that will last for years at Ace I'm on my way!

I would love to build one. Don't have the time. Sounds amazingly fun.

If it floats, flies, or …, its cheaper to rent.

They are pricey but my 8x8 octagon Ranch King blind is awesome. Never going to be moved so was willing to make the investment.

Can I get one that just lasts a long weekend, then kinda disappears forever?

I've heard you can but apparently don't go to Ace Hardware for that.

I dislike the Ranch King with the odd shape, but you're looking for the bigger size. I do think they are built well.

I haven't been in all the ones you've listed, but All Seasons have been my favorite so far. Built very well and quiet.

Uncle Dan. Tried to buy one a month ago. Out of stock. Called their manufacturing operation in Wylie. Placed an order, they charged my credit card and said they would call in 7-10 days. It's been a month. So now I get to call them, cancel the order and get the charge removed from my card.
Disappointing.

I really like AntlerShed. They have a peaked roof and left/right sliding windows. that way i do not have to have windows all the way open to take a shot. tons of room and a shelf to keep your gear out of the way. Great price too.

Atascosa and the ASF Big Chinga are both legit…
