    I haven’t used or seen the Scheels blind. But I love my double bull 360.

    I bought a double bull 360 last year…I also saw Scheels brand and it looks pretty well made and of good fabrick…the think I didnt like is you didnt have the moveability of the fabrick the double bull 360 has…besides that and the noise to open the shooting windows I thought it was pretty good for the price…If I had to do it again Id still buy the double bull for the reasons stated above..just my 2 cents and I suppose I should say I use the bind for turkey and deer bow hunting only…Jay

    My buddy has the 360 and loves it. I really like the videos that come with the blind. Did you guys see the one where he shoots the bumble bee out of the air with a compound??? Amazing!

    RVRAT. What do you mean by the movabilty of the fabric on the scheels brand . Is there a way to replace the screen on the DB? as you stated on the scheels they are noisy velcro and noisy but it comes with a few replacment screens. Either one I get will be much better than the A.S. doghouse I have right now.

    Huckster..with the double bull 360 you have 360degree shooting if you want it…to getit, you can 1. shoot through the screenwhich is all the way around the blind, which i dont do and it is replaceable or 2. pull the screen down a bit or up a bit to shoot over or under it…with the scheels brand,you can only shoot thru the windows and it is where the manufacture placed them…many times turkey and deer hunting the animals never came where I thought they would and if i didnt have the 360 degree shooting..I wouldnt have gotten a shot…hope I explained it so you can understand..I could show you much better then explaining…take a good look at both before you decide…Jay

    This is just my two cents also but I have quite a bit of experiance with both blinds since I work at scheels. Personally I own the Matrix 360. I really love the blind, but with that said there is absolutly nothing wrong with our scheels blind. If I din’t have the matrix or didn’t want to spend the 400 dollars I would buy the Scheels for 250. The boondocks is also a 360 degree blind with magnets to keep the windows closed and for silent opening. There is hooks on the roof to hold branches for brushing in the blind. You are correct it comes with 2 full sets of window mesh wh is a major advantage since to replace matrix mesh you have to send it in to be sown in. Just a little for you to think about. Let me know if you have any questions.

    I think I have the first DB made! Its sooo old! Last spring I needed some replacement parts and I couldnt believe how easy they made it for me. All I paid for was the shipping and they sent me extra everything I asked for. They even helped me out with advice on how to replace them and it went very smooth. Cant put a price on that kind of customer service!! Good luck with whatever you choose

    Thanks for all the input I did more research and I really have to commend forestor on his Ho. so with all the fine tuning and adjustments. And it appears the overall quality of the fabric and the height adjustable 360 view made me cough up the xtra $150. again thanks IDA
