Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Ground blinds

Damn. Guess its back to the search for me. How old are they?

Two or possibly 3 years. Got them on sale at scheels in sandy Utah. They were 50 bucks each.

I would buy the millennium ground blind seats if I had it to do over those are the best made.

Sadly, I've written redneck 4 times about these seats without a single reply!

We sat in the blind last night. My arrangement is set up this time of year for rabbits in the orchard. We have a motion sensing Green light that comes on when anything moves under it. Most game cannot see the green light and ignores it.

There were the typical string of deer walking through and eating the grass, willow leaves and the whole corn. We saw a dozen rabbits and took out 4 of them, and one big fat Possum. Just using an Air rifle to keep things quiet. Trying to take out as many as possible.

During this 3 hour sit I really paid attention to the sounds from the redneck seats. One of them definitely is just plain noisy, the swivel makes a clunking sound to get it moving from still and then is silent once rotating. Just the initial turn makes the clunking. Like it's stuck a bit wherever it stops.

However it also creaks horrible when you lean to the right or left to see out of side window. That's really horrible. The other seat does not have the breakaway clunking sound and swivels flawlessly It does have the same creaking sound when leaning but only about half as loud. My guess is that it will get worse as time goes on. The seat base is 5/16" plywood, with foam pad and then a nice thick pack cloth cover. I'm thinking the wood flexing is the weak link here. Either I need to replace with 3/4" or some other type of base? I'm just 175 lbs. It's not like I'm a giant of a guy really pushing the limits here.

As bow hunters we don't get cut any slack on this when at 20 yards. This type of sound is a deal breaker much of the time. Especially with a slowly moving nervous about everything Whitetail deer.

My suggestion is to steer clear of the redneck seats!

Amen to that. I already got one and am happy with it. Maybe that will change as they age.

At one time, Double Bull blinds had a lifetime warranty. Not sure if this is still the case, but it's worth checking. Pretty sure this was the case after Primos bought them.....

Had 40MPH+ gust this week, snapped a pole in my Plus size Rhino. Had a replacement pole sent within the hour. My smaller Rhino didnt seem to take any major damage.
