New Ground Force (Pictures)

[Paul Cupka]

Here you go gentlemen, all the comforts of the number one selling layout blind in the world, the Finisher, that packs up like a PowerHunter. Avery Pro-Staffer Jeff Kriet demonstrates the easy breakdown of the revolutionary ground blind. The NeoTub in which is used for the Finisher will also work for the new Ground Force, making access to those backwater holes easier than ever.. Once again, Avery and GreenHead Gear leaves the others playing "catch-up".

A zippered port in the doors opens to allow the user to "unlock" the frame sleeve with a push button, slide the sleeve up which breaks the door in half, giving this blind the ability to fold up and be carried on the hunters back.

Simply slide the backrest frame forward just as in the PowerHunter.

Looks like another item from Avery that I will be adding at some point. SO how much are one of these bad boys going to cost me?

[Chad Yamane]

Very nice. I have been waiting for this blind and now all I have to wait for is September.

[Paul Cupka]

A close up of how the door frame breaks down for packability.

That thing is flippin sweet! christmas is offically moved to Sept!

[pcgoosehunter]

How long does it take to assemble/disassemble it?

[Paul Cupka]

Oh, I'd say a whopping 30-45 seconds each way! Under a minute in the dark, with 25 mph winds and a thunderstorm. It is way too easy.

[Nicholas Lisec]

I cannot wait to get my hands on one of those for next year. Paul, thanks for posting the pics.

Nick

[Christian Curtis]

Thanks for the pictures. Believe me, 30 to 45 sec. tops. That may even be a bit to long. This thing breaks down and sets up in a flash and has all of the comforts of the ever popular Finisher.

[Rusty Hallock]

Paul and Jeff,



Thanks for the demo and pictures.

[cootshooter]

that thing looks sweet!

great job guys

[Mark Brendemuehl]

Jsut when you think you have enough gear... looks like I will have to add one to my spread. The problem is, if I get one, I end up getting 2.
Mark

[Rick Frisch]

Well, if Eric is switching his blinds to these, I will also have to do it. He is also taking his whole spread to FFD Elites. I wish I could remember how many times he used that spread last year.

[Sean Evans]

That is a great blind! I can not wait to get my hand on one of those this season.

[Wayne Radcliffe]

Great job Paul and Jeff. The pictures and the blind look great.

[J Kryspin]

That blind looks sweet!

[Curt Wilson]

Thanks for the pictures guys. That really shows how easy that blind is to set up and take down.

[tupe]

Good looking gear. I have a question though:

From the photos it looks like the doors are shorter than usual, is that the case or is the long looking lower portion of the blind just an optical distortion int he photo?

Thanks,

Tupe

[Bob "Chappy" Chaplin]

Paul and Jeff,

Thanks for the demo and the pictures.
Boy I can't wait to get in the field with the New Ground Force this up coming season.

[Doug Steinke]

Paul and Jeff, thanks for making me put something else on my wish list.

[Tony Vandemore]

After hunting out of them some this fall I am definitely switching over to Ground Force's!!

[Mike Bard]

Great demo and pictures Paul and Jeff. I'm looking forward to these for those spots where you have to walk in a ways,

[Adam Reid]

Looks great, I will have one of those this fall!!

[Andrew O'Neill]

Looks good!

Andrew

[Jason Zerrer]

Already got rid of all my others in anticipation of the Ground Force! Can't wait.

[tupe]

Anyone have any ideas about the door size? Sorry to bring this back up but it is a question I have about the blind and it seems to have gotten lost in the mix.

In the photos it looks as though the doors are a bit shorter than the other Avery blinds. Or is that just a trick of perspective?

Thanks,

Tupe

[Travis Mueller]

Actually longer. Sometimes when getting into a Finisher my shins would hit where the front was. This blind is actually longer in terms of the cockpit making it much easier to enter and exit.

[Rob Jepson]

Nice sequence of photos guys...thanks!

[johnksully]

Does anyone know a price on these bad boys yet? Looks like I'll be getting a few more blinds this year.

[chad belding]

This blind is going to be the ticket. We were able to hunt out of the new Ground Forces all season and we loved them. They set up and break down in an instance. They are very easy to transport and the best part is their low profile. The birds will never know what hits them. You also have a lot of room inside of the cockpit. I can't wait to get in mine again.

Good Hunting!

[tupe]

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling it might just be the angle of the photo that made it look that way. Looks like you guys have another good one. Keep it up.

Tupe

[maxx]

How is the visibility with this new blind being that it is lower profile. I think that is the only compliant I had when hunting out of the power hunter. I felt like I had to sit up to see.

Cant wait to get one of these. Almost bought a finisher several times this winter but I have been waiting on one of theses.

[h2ofowler]

Jeff,

Nice Job and it looks as nice as you said! I look forward to seeing you Friday evening at the festival.

Thanks
Rick

[Scott Moates]

Paul and Jeff, nice pictures and great job with the blind.

[Keath Wetovick]

Paul,

Can't wait!!

[TJ Davis]

i got the chance to hunt out of a couple this past fall. Let me tell you they are sweet. hey maxx you get the same view if not a better one i think as the finisher.

[Cory Johnson]

I have a Finisher Forsale! ...I can't wait to "check out" a GroundForce.

[NDboy]

awsome just have to talk my dad into buying one now

[Travis Kingery]

Jeff, you make a great Vanna White.

[headhunter]

Looks like a great blind has a lot of room in it.

[AJG]

Looks good!!

[hvyduty2500]

Awesome photos Paul! That blind looks like its gonna be a hit. Looks like you've got a top notch model in those shots!

[Paul Cupka]

I had some slim pickin's in the model department. Not what Wayne promised me, except for the blonde hair, nothing else matched the description he gave me. Haha.

[hvyduty2500]

I heard his stage name is Honey Biscuit!!

[Mike Winkler]

I can't wait to try one of these out!!!!!
