"Easy to put up and take down, and slips into the backpack type case easily." - C. Loop

Want to know what other customers say about the KillZone Pop-Up Ground Blind? See below for hunting blind reviews on this 1-2 man tent.

“A good buy if you are looking for a one person blind. I am six feet tall and need to duck a bit when inside, but once you’re in your seat it is perfect for a one person show. I can shoot my bow out of it no problem (just make sure you have a low stool, bucket seat, etc.), and the shoot through mesh is great for using a rifle. Easy to put up and take down, and slips into the backpack type case easily. Instructions were a little hazy, but easy to figure out once you do it a few times.”
- C. Loop

“This blind is exactly what I wanted. It is a pop up blind that sets up and collapses in seconds. If you are looking to get a ground blind look no further. Buy this now. On top of all this it showed up 2 days after ordering.”
- T. Lowman

“Works great!! I’ve read several reviews that the zippers are flimsy. While I agree they might not be heavy duty, I would not call the zippers ‘flimsy’. You just need to be careful about how tight you stretch the blind when you stake it down to the ground. You can relieve stretch in the fabric and make closing zippers easier by simply pulling the gap closed as you zip the door or windows shut.”
- Christopher H.

“I ordered a blind for me and one for a co-worker. I received them in 3 days and have both shot a bird out of them-one bow kill and one shotgun. Good product-great seller.”
- Michael H.

How many kids can you fit in a KillZone Turret hunting blind?

This past December, the KillZone Hunting team worked together to collect clothes and money for the Boys and Girls Club of Minnesota. The club hosted a 2-day winter camp on December 26-27 at Camp Voyageur in Mound, MN, where at-risk youth could get away from the pressures of life at home and enjoy being out in nature.

Some of these kids don’t have a lot, so the opportunity to come to a camp like this is a huge treat. The program director sent us the following summary of the retreat:

“Winter camp was a huge success! Twenty-five campers camped out and enjoyed two fun-filled days at Voyageur. They participated in outdoor survival class, learned about birds and took a nature hike up to our Chick-kitty landing, and were able to sit and have birds land on their heads! They also did some animal tracking and were able to hike across the lake into the other 30 acres we own, called New New England. While they were across the lake, they were able to find coyote tracks and check out the beaver dam. They also enjoyed making their own pizzas for dinner.”

Also, as you can see by the picture above, the kids were having fun in an “8-person” Turret blind???

We love hearing from our customers! Thanks to Matt for sending us this note about his new Turret Pop-Up ground blind from KillZone Hunting:

“I posted some pics of the Open Woods camo on AT.com from when I was out hunting yesterday. This has to be one of the best camo patterns available for hunting blinds.”

Matt is a bowhunter who bought one of our KillZone Turret ground blinds with the new Open Woods camo pattern. The Turret blind is small enough to blend in easily with its surroundings but large enough for drawing a bow. Matt said, “There’s enough room to draw inside for one hunter. If you sit more towards the corner you get a little more space.”

"If you are not in the mood for dragging your tree climber all the time, this is a super alternative, especially in the cold and wind!" - Rich

“Great pop up blind! Setup in less than a minute! Closing it up is fast and simple, plus the backpack provides storage and portability! Spacious inside and will allow two hunters ample room for seating, cameras and gear when bow hunting as well as rifle hunting.”
- P. Hager

“It’s your standard pop up blind for a good price! If you’re 5ft. 7in. or shorter, you should be comfortably able to hang out inside. Anyone taller than that may want to get a bigger pop up. It comes with a carry bag, 2 ext. poles, 8 stakes, and 4 tie downs! I find that the camo pattern could be used in a variety of terrain. It blends in well amongst the green cedar trees and mesquite scrub.”
- O. Gonzalez

“I bought it and gave it as a gift to my brother. He loved it. Easy up and easy down!”
- Amy B.

“What a great, easy-to-set-up blind for hunting any type of game you want to stay concealed for. I dropped a 12-point, 160-pound deer from about 25 yards with a bow from this blind 2 days ago. It was roomy and comfortable and blended in.

Little problem in getting it back in its bag; it’s tricky, but can be done easily with 2 people. It is light and packable into the woods. If you are not in the mood for dragging your tree climber all the time, this is a super alternative, especially in the cold and wind!

Happy hunting!”
- Rich U.

“Delivery was quick. Setup was easy. Just had 2 inches of rain plus high winds and all was dry inside and found it as I left it before the storm came. The price was right, even cheaper than most stores. Gave it four stars because of the hassle of taking it down. Had a little buddy heater in it when it was 24 degrees outside and stayed warm. I would recommend this to a friend. Enough room for my daughter and I with the right kind of chairs.”
- Alan Caines

“This is a great blind. I ordered this blind just before the black powder hunt in Oklahoma. I received the blind and the webbing where the poles went to hold up the roof, were miss sewn. I made contact with KillZone, who sold me the blind, and informed Rod L. of my misfortune. With his help, and only one week until my hunt started, I was able to get my replacement. I was unable to set the blind up to let it air out for the two days; however, I did have it in time to make my hunt. I have to commend KillZone for 3-day shipping me the blind and making all of that work. If you buy this blind, you will love the camo pattern, ease of setup, and the ability to pack it in its backpack style case.”
- G. Gandy

“The hunting blind I ordered arrived promptly. Terrific rig: easy to set up, easy to collapse. I am very satisfied with the purchase.”
- Paul

Dave Frank from Arenzille, Illinois earns the bragging rights for this 23.5 lb turkey shot from a KillZone Pop Up Blind. This was Dave’s first kill using his new hunting blind. He is pictured below next to his turkey and decoys.

The KillZone Turret Pop Up ground blind is available in Autumn Wooded Oak (as shown) and Zero-Detect camouflage.

The Turret blind "has tons of options depending on season or location." - C. Blemmel

The Turret Pop Up Blind is popular with bow hunters and gun hunters. See below to find out what our customers have to say about the Turret hunting blind:

“This is a really nice product for the price. Fits myself and my two 8 year old sons easily. Nice full size door. Nice shoot through windows on all 4 sides. Sets and tears down in seconds.”
- Matthew Kinsey

“My wife ordered this blind for me for the upcoming deer season. I put the blind next to a field at a food plot and have had does pass by me at 10 yards. And a buck had rub a tree 5 yards behind it. The reason I gave it 4 stars is a little tight when you draw your bow at full draw but still works well. And for the gun hunter will hold 2 people comfortable.”
- J. Osborne

“Fast shipping, a lot earlier than expected, easy to put up. -1star because it was a little rough to take down if you’re not good with instructions, but all in all great product, well worth the money, and like I said they were great with the shipping of it.”
- Jimmy H.

"Better in person than in the picture."
- Jamie

“This just came and it’s better in person than in the picture. The only negative I can see with it is the shoulder straps on the carrier are too small for an average man with a heavy hunting suit on. Will have to find a way to modify it if I want to carry it like a back pack. Easy up and down. Enough room for me and my bow. Would recommend it to friends.”
- Jamie

“I bought this blind for hubby for Christmas. I was so happy with it. It’s big, it’s high quality, easy to set up, and collapses into a backpack. Amazing. Best blind for the price. Highly recommend not wasting your money on cheap one-man blinds. It has tons of options depending on season or location.”
- C. Blemmel

“Received the blind very quickly! I ordered this for my boyfriend. I ordered it based on the good reviews; let’s just hope he loves it as much as I loved the price!!”
- LeAnn B.

“Wonderful…bigger than we thought, can see out and easy to put up and down…can’t beat the price.”
- Angela S.

The October 2010 edition of Buckmasters Whitetail Magazine featured the KillZone Turret ground blinds with Zero-Detect camouflage. Along with the Autumn Wooded Oak camouflage, the new Zero-Detect pattern provides more options for blending in to any setting.

The Turret XL is a "light, fast and highly portable choice in ground blinds" according to Buckmasters editor Ken Piper.

Ken Piper, editor of Buckmasters, tested out the Turret XL blind with his daughter and dubbed it a “great value, offering a light, fast and highly portable choice in ground blinds.”

In anticipation of the last hunting season before his daughter Megan’s first year of college, Piper and his daughter tried out a few blinds, looking for just the right one for Megan’s first bowhunting experience. Piper described their experience using the KillZone Turret XL:

“We set up a Turret XL this summer to see if Megan would be able to shoot from a ground blind. The Turret XL set up quickly, felt solid (but still very light) and had plenty of room for both of us. The Zero-Detect camouflage is versatile enough to blend into any setting, especially with a little brushing in. Hopefully I’ll have a buck story and pictures to share later this fall.”

The Turret XL blind features a hub and pole design that sets up in no time and packs up just as easily. Windows on all sides and a zippered roof hatch offer 360-degree visibility.

The Turret Pop Up blind features a lightweight steel pop-up frame for fast setup and takedown. The full-size zippered door makes it easy to get all of your equipment in and out with no hassle.

Both the Turret Pop Up and XL blinds come with a scentless carbon interior, weatherproof polyester fabric, shoot-through camo mesh, and a backpack case for hands-free carrying.

Pop up hunting blinds are quick to set up and take down. Within minutes, you can be tucked in your blind and ready for the hunt. Our chair blinds even include a built-in hunting chair for an all-in-one pop up blind—no need to carry both a chair and a blind separately.

"Easiest pop up hunting blind I have ever used." - Michigan hunter

2 Person Chair Blind Review

“This is the easiest pop up hunting blind I have ever used. It takes minutes to setup and minutes to take down. I have used other pop ups in the past that would go up in a flash but then you would spend the next several hours looking like an idiot trying to take it down and put it back together. The KillZone Hunting Blind is the best one I’ve used so far. The other features I like are the the built in chairs and the adjustable windows. This makes it nice when going in the field—you don’t have to carry all this gear to accommodate your blind; it all back packs in the KillZone. The adjustable windows open up nice for more room if you’re bow hunting, and they can be reduced down to allow less visibility by your game. The one downside I find is that the zippers to the windows can be noisy. This can be corrected by taping them up. I’m glad I got the 2 chair for more room. I am just over 6 feet tall and 200 lbs. The 1 chair would have been too small. Very happy with this purchase.”
- “Michigan hunter”

“This was a gift for my husband who was very happy with the product. He has no complaints about it and can’t wait to take our 8 year old son out turkey and deer hunting with him in it.”
- Patricia W.

“We were very pleased with the pop-up ground blind and it arrived even sooner than was stated so that was great. We were also pleased with the quality of material used in its construction.”
- Wilma S.
