Avery Power Hunter

[life=outdoors92]

any reasons why i shouldn't get one? a few places have them pretty cheap and i need a new blind. i sat in one about a week ago and liked it. well, you can't really have your gun in there, but i don't know if thats a big problem or not.

i am also looking at a FA x'landr since its very low profile also. any suggestions?

i wouldnt hunt that much out of it every fall, maybe a dozen times.

I would personally go with the new layouts made by rogers sporting goods. They are 150 durable and comfortable. I had multiple customers comment on how comfortable and warm they were . Xlanders would be my second choice low profile comfortable but not as warm. I would stay away from the power hunters because of the lid. It's tough enough shooting out of a layout when birds get to the sides and back of you. The lid is only going to make things tougher on you.

I've hunted out of a power hunter blind and I liked it, having the gun out wasn't no problem, getting shots off left to right to back to front was no problem for me and the visibility is better and can move your head more than in a normal two door layout blind. There will be advantages/disadvantages to blind. Great blind if you want to get low and in bean fields. I have heard nothing but good things about X'Landrs, they're low and not the most comfortable blind out there. A good all around blind for anywhere you want to hunt IMO.

I can name about 10 blinds i'd buy before a powerhunter. Xlandr or Prolandr would be my first 2 choices. If you decide to go with the power hunter, I suggest removing the bar in the lid, otherwise the high point of the lid is 21" making it one of the highest layout blinds produced.

Hunted out of a few Xlanders,Bought 2 Prolanders for big guy they work fine and they arelow enough to swing over back right to left without issues.

if i get the power hunter someone told me to get the field khaki camo. as well as the field brown with the FA xlandr. does the camo design even matter with one of these blinds since they are so low profile and can be covered up?

No.... some may differ but I am going to mud my blinds, camo or khaki/brown and they look much better and not much glare.

You must mud your blinds. I actually prefer to spray them black first and then mud them.

Krylon camo brown looks just like dried mud.

Got a pic of a blind painted that color by chance? the soil color of eastern south dakota and western minnesota is basically black, but i've been messing with painting a blind black and it looks bad.

Did you hit it with spray can or did you actually get out a brush and really slap it on?

No photos. Spray can.

Blinds are always grassed anyways, paint was to kill the shine as much as the color. We don't use blinds in pea fields.

Dark black loam soil would be tough. If you go that route, then the blinds would appear too dark (unless completely grassed) in most other areas.

Almost sounds like you should have a snow cover and dye it / paint it dark black, black.

I'm not worried about the blind being too dark in other situations, because this blind is only for hunting black fields. I mud the shiznit out of it multiple times a season to keep it black. Infact, we usually mud all our blinds pretty good, because its always easier to knock some mud off in a light field than it is to make a light blind look dark.
