KillZone Double Chair Blind Reviews

“Easy to set up – quick to break down and great price…did tear at two spots but more my fault about where I set up and the limbs puncturing the fabric…great sight lines and a comfortable hunting blind.”
- John R.

“Great product and awesome buying experience. Product is as perfectly advertised and of high quality. I looked at Ameristep and a few other brands and I am quite happy with this instead at a much better price.”
- John H.

“I was debating whether to buy this one or the single person chair. I have two boys who I am starting to take hunting when it’s not too cold or they have to get up too early. (Their conditions!) Anyway I was afraid the two person would be too heavy to carry along with my backpack and gun when I was by myself. I used it for the first time Thanksgiving week and was very impressed. I carried it along with my other gear with no problem. The only thing that I didn’t like was the backpack style straps are too far apart to sit on your shoulders. This wasn’t much problem though as I already had on a backpack. I just slung one strap over my shoulder and it carried very well like a duffel bag. My brother in-law has the single seat model and after seeing the roominess of mine wishes he had purchased the two man also. As far as concealment, I had a deer walk down the trail within twenty feet of me until I made a noise and spooked it. Arrgh! Overall I think it is a great value for the money!!”
- “Desprtsman”

“They shipped to me twice; the first time I did not receive the item (lost or stolen mail) but I made them aware of it and they shipped me another ASAP. I love the blind…high quality…going to work out great for Kentucky spring turkey season. Gobble gobble.”
- Jason E.

The Body Block Ground Blind is extremely portable.

Want concealment without lugging a full ground blind into the woods? A 3-sided panel blind may be just the answer. A panel blind is one of the most portable blinds available. At only 10″ x 1″, it’s small enough to fit in the pocket of your turkey vest for hands-free carrying.

What can you use a panel ground blind for?

You can use a panel blind for almost any type of big game or small game hunting. Turkey hunting is one of the more popular uses for a panel blind, but is can also be used for deer hunting and other game.

How can I make it more comfortable?

One of the trade-offs for extreme portability is a loss of comfort and concealment. Since the blind is low to the ground, you will need to sit on the ground rather than on a hunting chair. Bring along a padded stadium chair or foam cushion for softer seating. Most hunters lean up against a tree trunk for a backrest. The tree trunk also provides concealment on a fourth side.

How do I set up the ground blind?

Carefully remove the ground blind from the bag. Hold one of the three rings and let the other two pop open and unfold. Stake the blind down to stabilize it in windy conditions. To fold the blind, remove the stakes and fold the panels over each other until you have one panel circle. Overlap the rings to form a single set of rings. Then twist the panel in a figure eight until it makes a smaller 3-ring panel. Pack the folded disc into the carrying bag, and you’re ready to go!

Pop up blinds have a smaller profile and a large entry door.

Which is better: pop up or hub style blinds? The choice depends on what you are looking for in a hunting blind. Both types of blinds have their pros and cons.

Setup

Both are easy to set up and take down. Taking down a pop up blind takes a little practice at first, but once you learn how to do it, you can get it packed up in no time. For a hub blind, simply pop the roof up, then all four sides. For a pop up blind, after you set up the blind, you will need to insert fiberglass rods into the pockets inside the tent. This will reinforce the blind.

Size

Hub blinds have a bigger footprint than pop up blinds. This can be a good thing and a bad thing. The good part is the extra room it gives you inside the blind—both elbow room and height. Bowhunters can draw without bumping the back wall, and gun hunters can move the gun without interference. The larger space means you can bring along your spouse and kids, and you won’t have to crouch over as much when you stand. The (possible) negative side of a larger blind is that it’s harder to camouflage in areas with low-lying or dense brush. Pop up blinds work better in areas where there is little room to set up a blind.

Hub style blinds have plenty of elbow room.

Door Style

Because of the hub design on a hub style blind, the door is smaller and in the corner of the blind. Pop up blinds have a full size door, which makes getting in and out with all of your gear a whole lot easier.

Durability

Hub blinds are the sturdiest type of portable blind, although neither hub blinds nor pop up blinds are designed to be exposed to the elements for more than a few days. Tree limbs, strong winds, heavy snow, and other elements can damage the blind.

See our post on How to Set Up a Hunting Blind for setup instructions.

Taking down your hunting blind is quick and easy. Once you have it taken down, you can slip it back in the carry bag or use a small bungee cord to hold it together. If the shelter is wet, set it up at home and let it dry before packing it away for storage.

Follow these directions to take down your hub style hunting blind:

1. Remove the anchors on all sides but one. Push in on one of the side hubs until it pops in. (See Figure 7.)

Figure 7

2. Push in the other three side hubs. (See Figure 8.)

Figure 8

3. Push the top hub down. (See Figure 9.)

Figure 9

4. Remove the last anchor and fold all of the corners up. (See Figures 10 and 11.)

Figure 10

5. Slide the hunting blind into the carry bag with the hubs at the bottom of the bag. (See Figure 12.)

To make your hunting blind last longer, only leave it out for a few days at a time.

A portable hunting blind is designed to give you the flexibility to hunt in any location and move from one location to another. It’s lightweight enough to carry on your back, even for a long hike into the woods or fields.

Because these blinds are portable, they are not designed to withstand long-term exposure to weather in the same way that permanent blinds are made to do. The lightweight material makes the portable blind light enough to carry long distances and sturdy enough to withstand rain, snow, and wind conditions, but repeated long-term exposure to harsh weather can damage the blind.

The weight of snow and puddle rainwater on top of the blind is sometimes enough to cause the blind to collapse or the hubs to break. Strong wind gusts can snap the poles or blow the tent away.

While it’s okay to leave your ground blind outside for a few days, even up to a couple of weeks, we don’t recommend leaving a portable blind out all season. When you do leave your blind out overnight, stake it down as securely as possible. If there is a threat of bad weather, don’t leave your blind outside.

As a note of caution, keep in mind that if you leave your blind out, you take the risk that someone might come along and snatch it up. If you hunt on private land, the chances of theft are smaller, but if you set up your blind in a well-traveled area, you may want to think twice about leaving it there.

Setting up your hunting blind for the first time can be a little confusing, but with a little practice, you’ll be able to pop up and take down your hunting blind in no time. Follow the directions below to set up your hub style hunting blind.

1. Remove the hunting blind from the bag and set the hub end on the ground. (See Figure 1).

Figure 1

2. Unfold the hunting blind and screw in the anchor at one corner eyelet. (See Figure 2).

Figure 2

3. Jerk up hard on the top hub so that it pops up. (See Figure 3).

Figure 3

4. Pull out the side hub while pushing against the top center. (See Figure 4).

Figure 4

5. Pull out the remaining side hubs. (See Figure 5).

Figure 5

6. Install the remaining anchors as needed around the base of the hunting blind. You can also use the anchors along with the included rope as outriggers for the hub when attached to the outside hub eyelet. (See Figure 6).

Camouflage mesh diminishes the "black hole" effect that can spook deer.

Knowing where and when to set up your hunting blind can make the difference between a successful hunt and a disappointing season. The following tips will help you make the most of your hunting blind in order to increase your chances for a successful hunt.

Hunting Blind Setup

Set the ground blind up ahead of time to let the deer get used to it, up to a week in advance. Once the deer become accustomed to its presence, they will no longer view it as a threat.

Keep a dark backdrop behind you. Even if the blind’s design allows you to open the windows all around the blind, it’s probably better to keep the window behind you closed. A dark backdrop will swallow your silhouette and prevent deer from spotting you.

Since deer can balk at the “black hole” created when the window and mesh are open, it’s best to keep the mesh up, or with just a corner hanging down for a shooting lane. The mesh on KillZone blinds is camouflaged to match the walls of the blind and diminish the “black hole” effect.

Hunting Blind Placement

One of the benefits of a portable ground blind is that you can easily move it from one location to another. Since a location that produces well early in the season may turn cold by the end of the season, you may need to move the blind as the season progresses in order to adjust to the deer’s movement.

Look for trail intersections, water holes, cut lines, and field edges that are heavily traveled. This is where your scouting will come in handy. Knowing where to set up your blind depends on your knowledge of the deer’s movement, which may change drastically from pre-season to post-season.

The recommended distance from the trail to the blind also depends on your shooting range with a bow, rifle, shotgun, or muzzleloader. For setting up near a trail intersection, locate the blind about 20 yards from the trail intersection for shots within close range. If you’re worried about the deer spotting you, set up further away. Wherever you locate the blind, make sure you have clear shooting lanes and visibility.

If you’re frustrated by the lack of game you’re seeing, don’t hesitate to move to another spot. Changing up your game plan may be just what you needed to bring home the jerky.

The 360 blind set up outside

A bowhunter from North Carolina posted a review of the KillZone 360 ground blind on the forum at ArcheryTalk.com, along with pictures and videos.

Here are a few excerpts from what this hunter had to say about the 360 hunting blind:

“We received it four days after we ordered it (great for free shipping) and it literally took 50 seconds from the time I cut the tape on the box until it was fully set up in our living room. This sucker is big! I am 6’3″ and I could almost stand up inside. The sides and top pop out with web strap handles (which could also be used as anchors to trees, etc. for heavy winds). It has shoot through mesh and a camo backing on the mesh which is held up by a silent bungee and plastic “s” hook system and each side panel of the mesh backing is held together with silent magnets. The shoot through mesh is zipped on and the zipper makes a slight noise when moved quickly but is silent when opened or closed slowly.

It also has removable top vents on two of the four sides but does not have a bottom.”

The blind has a 5ft 6in center height (compared to 6ft 3in hunter).

When asked by another forum member how well made the blind was, the North Carolina archer said,

“I haven’t taken it out in the field yet but it seems sturdy and seems like someone put a good amount of thought into the fit and finish. Materials aren’t flimsy like an old surplus poncho or anything.

I was VERY happy for the money.”

In another update, the reviewer mentioned the window height and quality of materials and tested the waterproof coating:

“Shot out of it today (sitting in a collapsible bag chair- I am 6’3″) windows are perfect height top of window is above eye level and bottom of window is above your lap when sitting down. I could shoot basically any angle I wanted to out of the blind. There really isn’t any sheen to the fabric. It is much thicker than poncho or tarp material. Somewhere between the thickness of that and canvas. Texture of the material is kind of the same as canvas.

View from inside the 360 hunting blind

Also I filled a 5 gallon bucket 3/4s full and kind of threw it over the top. No water leakage.

It really seems like it will hold up for the long haul and opening and closing windows etc are dead silent. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Also, as you can tell, I am a big boy and we fit two guys my size in there no problem. Three with bow might be a little much but could definitely be done. Since the sides kind of slope out a little in the middle where the support braces meet, it makes it a little more roomy.”

Another forum member commented on the sheen of the material in the pictures, and the reviewer replied with the following:

“It really isn’t shiny. There is a little sheen to it because of the material it is made out of, but it appears to be woven rather than a sheet of material so the sheen isn’t bad. I haven’t seen any other blind from any of the big manufacturers that was less shiny than this one.”

KillZone Hunting offers a variety of portable ground blind models, each with slightly different features and specifications to meet your needs for space, concealment, shooting options, and seating. See the side-by-side comparison below for a closer look at the benefits each blind has to offer.

Chair Hunting Blind

How is a chair blind different from a regular hunting blind?

A chair blind is an all-in-one hunting chair and pop up blind. The built-in chair is covered by a tent canopy that folds over the top and completely covers the chair. There are windows on three sides of the tent, with a black backdrop behind the hunter or photographer for concealment.

Why a chair blind?

An all-in-one chair and blind means that you have fewer items to carry with you to the setup location. This makes it easier (and lighter) to carry all the rest of your hunting or photography equipment.

How difficult is it to set up a chair blind?

It’s easy! Just set up the chair, fold the canopy over the top, and stake down the blind to keep it from getting picked up by the wind.

Does it have scent control?

Yes, the KillZone One Man Chair Blind and Two Man Chair Blind both have a scentless carbon protected interior. They also have a scent flap around the bottom of the blind to keep your scent inside the blind. For further scentproofing, let the blind sit outside for a few days to naturalize the odor. Some hunters like to “mud” their blinds for better camo and scent protection.

Is it waterproof?

Most chair blinds are water-repellent and are designed to shed rain and snow. In a heavy downpour, they may allow some water to seep into the blind; however, in most rainy weather, you will stay dry and snug inside the blind.

Is it fire resistant?

We do not recommend using a portable heater inside the blind, nor do we recommend shooting through the mesh with a firearm. Any heat source or open flame creates a fire hazard. Use caution and common sense to prevent creating any fire hazard in or near the blind.

Can I keep it out all season?

Chair hunting blinds are made to withstand the elements for a short period of time. Keeping your blind outside for longer than a week can take a toll on the tent fabric, protective coatings, and support structure of the blind. If you want to keep your blind out for months at a time, we recommend building a permanent hunting blind.
