Okay, finally found a Rhino blind to have a first hand "look see" at the materials quality and design.

The quality is about the same as Double bull, Actually I cannot see a difference in the fabric. The Rhino uses fabric about like you would find a heavy duty back pack. The hubs and poles are solid, as is the quality of the stitching. The door opening on the Rhino is quite a bit better for my needs. It's simple and fail proof. One handed in and out.

Wndows and mesh....... hard to see one having advantage over the other. The biggest difference is the entry door. The Rhino is better to me. Now one disclaimer on this. The Rhino blind I saw was not the standard size, it was the bigger size. Most of these I have used have been about the same 5 foot square and 65" tall or there about.

This one is 6' square and a 6' plus tall or there about. Never saw one this size before, the owner told me it is the "oversize" model. That little bigger size was quite nice. Especially for a bow hunter. Oh one other thing I liked about this model was the sewn in horizontal Belt loops around mid height and again about 20" down from the top. These are for sticking brush and grass into. Simply brilliant to have this really heavy duty design sewn around all four sides.

The top opens up as well, for waterfowl, which I won't likely ever use but it's worth the mention if you need that function. I believe this will be the one I get. That bigger size is not so much larger that it will be any more difficult to hide in the bush, but the extra space for gear or possibly having a kid with me is very welcome space. I really do like the idea of the extra height for drawing a bow as well. The standard size is perfect for a gun hunter, but this slightly bigger one is the bow hunters dream.

As stated above, First time I set it up took 5 minutes, Take down was under three minutes including getting it all back into the back pack case. Second time I set it up knowing a few little things to do, I could set it up in 2 minutes. This is a HUGE improvement over anything else I have ever used. Once you gently pull out the hub straps it seems to go up by itself!

I have some folding camp chairs that I will probably use for now. But I think I too may need to find something just right for this blind. If you have used or owned a Double bull, and just wished for a little more room, then this is much like a double bull quality with a bit bigger space inside.
