You’ve been waiting for it… The 360 Ground Blind from KillZone Hunting is now available with Zero-Detect camouflage! Along with our Autumn Wooded Oak pattern, you now have more options for blending in to any terrain. The Zero-Detect camo pattern blends easily into wooded areas, marshes, fields, and other settings. The combination of colors work great for early or late season hunting.

The KillZone 360 Hunting Blind is a premium blind at an affordable price. Can it hold its own next to the big name blinds? Just ask our customers! One customer, Daniel, told us, “I have used Primos hunting blinds and Ameristep binds the last 2 seasons. They are good blinds but nowhere near the class of this blind! And at a fraction of the cost. It is without a doubt the best blind I have used.” And he’s not the only customer who feels that way.

The 360 blind is a winner all around with 360-degree vision, shoot-through mesh, carbon scent-dampening protection, a black-out interior, a roof hatch for duck hunting and ventilation, and a backpack case to boot. What more could you ask for?

Thanks to Travis of north Florida for this review of the Turret XL Zero Detect hunting blind, posted on the Archery Talk forum!

There was good reasoning behind my wanting to try a ground blind this hunting season. I have used them in the past, for bow and gun hunting, but only during Spring gobbler season. I hunt in North Florida, and the season date changes this year were dramatic. I noticed very quickly that several aspects of my hunting routine were about to follow suit. The tree canopy around my creek stand is simply too thick and green in early September. My answer…a ground blind!

I found the ground blinds from www.killzonehunting.com online and they immediately peaked my interest. I could not afford some of the available blinds, and did not want something that would not be of good quality. These blinds are apparently in high demand as well, so I had to settle with ordering the Turret XL over the 360 model, since I insisted on the Zero Detect camo.

I received the blind within just a couple of days, not bad for free shipping! From the outside in, I will give you my opinions on the complete assembly.

The shoulder straps on the Turret XL’s carrying bag were cushioned and comfortable. This makes it very nice to carry in and out of the woods and leave your hands free for other items. I can even pack the blind on my back and still sling my bow. I first set the blind up in my back yard to test it out a little, get accustomed to shooting from it, and also to let it air out a day or two before placing it in the woods.

Once I found where I wanted to locate the blind near the creek and white oaks on my property, I cleared a spot under a palm tree that allowed for a backdrop and some natural shooting lanes. The exterior of the blind is constructed of a non-sheen material so it does not have the glossy look of some blinds in the woods. The blind has a strip sewn in around the circumference of the top that helps in brushing the blind itself in. A few well-placed limbs in front also seem to help break up any outline.

I was amazed at how well the Zero Detect camo blends in with multiple surroundings. It blended with the floor of this ecotone area as well as it did on the wood line behind my house. I placed a solid plastic chair inside the blind and can easily keep my bow in its holder, with a nocked arrow. There would be plenty of room inside for a cameraman or another hunter.

The windows offer plenty of vision and open area for shot opportunities, however I would like to try the 360 blind in the Zero Detect when available since it gives you full 360 degree availability in sections. I have owned a popular 360 blind in the past, but found I did not like the clamshell style window that is simply pulled down all the way around. That only allows for more open areas than necessary, and more chance of being spotted! The windows and netting are mostly held in place by a bungee loop system that is completely silent opening and closing. The only window downfall I found was on the vertical windows in the corners. Velcro holds the corner windows in place and this would be the one thing I would change on this blind. But hey, for the price of this blind I can live with one flaw.

The shoot thru netting on the Turret XL also has slits for shotgun or rifle hunters, which will be a great advantage during turkey season! The inside of the blind is completely blacked out, so that helps to hide any movement inside and gives you a little freedom of movement. It also has a sewn in storage pouch inside handy for storing items such as calls, range finders, etc.

To sum up this length review I would have to say I would highly recommend trying one of the blinds from www.killzonehunting.com, be it the Turret XL or the 360.

Pros:

• Excellent camo adaptability with the Zero Detect
• Nice built in features such as storage bag, brush in loops and silent windows
• Carrying bag with shoulder straps that’s actually big enough to get the blind back into!
• Solid hub and material construction that should last many seasons if taken care of
• Price!!

Cons:

• Velcro on corner windows

KillZone Hunting recently partnered with Zero-Detect camo to offer a new camouflage pattern for our hunting blinds. This camo pattern has proven its worth across states, seasons, settings, and terrain.

What’s the secret behind Zero-Detect’s success? Zero-Detect camouflage is not a picture, like most conventional camo patterns, but is a true pattern. This camo is not limited to blending in to the environment portrayed by the picture printed on the fabric but is versatile enough to blend in with almost any environment—a “must have” for any hunter who hunts in more than one location.

According to designer Steve Bursey, president of Zero-Detect Hunting Products, what impacts a camo pattern’s effectiveness most is not colors but shades. Since a deer’s vision is more pattern-oriented than color-oriented, the blending of shades is more important than the combination of colors. Zero-Detect camo has the unique ability to provide concealment in any light. As the light conditions change, the camo pattern will not blob or glow as other camo patterns have a tendency to do, especially in low light or cloudy conditions, which is the best time to hunt. There is nothing in the pattern that draws the eye or alerts game.

Zero-Detect camo is currently available on the KillZone Turret pop up blinds and Turret XL ground blinds.

The guys over at BowHunterPlanet.com posted a hunting review for the KillZone Turret XL hub style ground blind with Zero Detect camo. Along with a basic overview of the features the Turret XL has to offer, the review covers some of the benefits of the blind, including its generous size and unique camouflage pattern.

Here is an excerpt from the review:

“This has to be one of the best ground blinds on the market today. This Hub Style portable blind was easy to set up and has enough room to fit a hunter and cameraman/caller. The Blind also features easy to use windows with shoot through mesh. The blind sits at 66” center height and 72” x 72” hub to hub. The blind features scent-dampening carbon stealth protection, black out interior with open floor, Zero Detect camo, 4 Full Size Windows with mesh, triangle roof hatch with zipper closure and weighs only 14lbs. The blind gives hunters an advantage when hunting on the ground. With the unique camo pattern and extensive space this blind fits pretty much any hunting application.”

What type of camouflage do I need for my hunting blind?

If you predominantly hunt one type of cover (for example, in a tree stand in a stand of oaks in late November), a specialized hunting camo pattern will provide optimal camouflage. But if you need a hunting blind camo pattern that works in several types of cover, an all-purpose pattern is your best bet. All-purpose camo generally uses an open pattern that blends in across multiple backgrounds and hunting seasons. It’s versatile enough to be used in spring or fall, in woods, marshland, crop fields, or grasslands.

What type of camo works well for early season hunting? Late season hunting?

Camo patterns with predominantly green hues blend in well with the new growth that takes in early spring. For late season hunting, look for darker patterns with multiple shades of brown and tan, broken up by small highlights of red, orange, or green.

What is the difference between Zero Detect and Autumn Wooded Oak camo?

The Zero-Detect camo pattern is designed to work in woodland terrain, brush and scrub. The green hues in the pattern blend in well with spring foliage and the brown hues provide coverage for fall foliage and late-season hunting. The white highlights add contrast and depth to the pattern.

The Autumn Wooded Oak camo pattern is designed primarily for wooded landscapes and fall foliage but can also be brushed in to match a variety of seasons and terrain. The various shades of brown, orange, yellow, and green make this pattern versatile enough for a wide range of foliage.

The KillZone Turret XL Ground Blind has hunters talking. Priced at only $99 and offering many of the same features as the top brands, the Turret XL offers spacious room, quiet window closures, shoot through mesh, roof hatch, carbon scent block, and two choices of camo patterns.

Here’s what a couple of Michigan hunters have to say about their Turret XL blinds:

“I have a KillZone Turret XL, and it’s great! With 11 shooting windows (all have shoot through mesh) and a roof hatch, there’s no limit to the opportunities to use it.” (Longhair)

“Bought two of the KillZone Turret-XL blinds this year and am pretty impressed so far. 6×6 inside and 66 inch center. Also has a zippered roof hatch so you can stand up for a spell just to look around. For $99.00 shipped to my door and removable mesh windows I couldn’t beat it.

I really can’t find anything I don’t like about it for the money spent. The camo pattern and fabric are very acceptable imo. Sheen doesn’t seem bad at all, much less than the Ameristeps I have owned. The material is pretty tight, so flap in the wind is of no concern to me. The hubs are of some type plastic material [now made of lightweight steel], but I found them fully functional during the muzzleloader season. No problem with the tiedown points, at the top or sides. The stakes are cheap, but I didn’t find them needed anyway….

But for $99, and to my door in 3 days, I don’t hesitate to recommend it to the “cost” concious. I bought two, and my bro in law liked what he saw, and he also bought one.

I would give it at least an 8 1/2 of 10 rating. Better, but one of the window loop keepers needed a little more thread to hold it in place. For the money spent, I’m pleased. Can’t say that for a lot of things I bought over the years.” (Don)

The Turret and Turret XL Ground Blinds from KillZone Hunting are now available with Zero-Detect camouflage. In addition to the Autumn Wooded Oak camouflage pattern, you now have more options for blending in to any environment.

The Zero-Detect Turret XL Blind features a lightweight hub and fiberglass pole design with a scentless carbon protected interior and weatherproof polyester fabric. Windows on all sides of the blind give you superior vision, and a zippered roof hatch gives you more shooting and hunting options.

The Zero-Detect Turret Pop Up Blind features a lightweight steel frame, easy setup and takedown, and integrated portal windows with removable camouflage mesh.

Why Choose Zero-Detect Camouflage?

The Zero-Detect pattern is extremely versatile, making your blind disappear both in woodland terrain and grasslands. The unique color combination adapts to any environment and any hunting season. The green hues blend well with grass and brush, making the pattern well adapted to early season hunting. The darker brown hues blend well into wooded areas and are perfect for late season hunting. To top it all off, the white highlights add contrast and depth to the pattern, an element missing from many of the top camo patterns on the market.

Zero-Detect camo is a pattern-based camouflage rather than picture-based. Developed after weeks of careful experimentation, Zero-Detect camo effectively eliminates the blind’s profile in almost any environment with a precise combination of color and pattern.

The Making of Zero-Detect

Steve Bursey, the owner and founder of Zero-Detect Hunting, is an avid hunter, artist, and businessman who set out to create a camouflage design that would eliminate rather than enhance the profile of a hunting blind.

His prior experience with other camouflage designs suggested that they outlined his profile rather than hid it. He was constantly being spotted by deer, turkeys, and other game. So Bursey set out to create his own camouflage pattern.

After weeks of experimenting in the field, Bursey’s task was finally complete. He had designed a camouflage pattern that blends flawlessly into field, forest, and hardwood environments and even takes into account the dead giveaway of the blind’s silhouette against a lighted sky background.
