power hunter vs ground force

[backpeddle]

i have a final approach pro guide eliminator which you can not fold to carry out. my question is for you guy's that have a power hunter and a ground force ,which would be the better choice of a new backpack type blind for the field! thanks for the help!

[George Zahradka]

My farorite blind is without question the Power Hunter,Although the Ground Force Blind is nice and folds up nice .What I would do is go to a store and see for yourself what blind fits your style of hunting.......either way there both nice blinds...

[Jason Mears]

Both are awesome blinds, I actually use a Finisher and dont have a GF but when Im hunting by myself, the Power Hunter is great being it is light weight (11 lbs.) and takes about 15 seconds to set up. You cant beat the Power Hunter for those after work hunts.

[David Rearick]

If you want a backpack style blind, that will rule out the finisher. As far as a choice between the Ground Force and Power Hunter, that could be difficult. If you can find somewhere to try them both out, that will be your best bet. Either way you will love the blinds!

I like the Power Hunter for long hikes, or fields without much cover. But I like the groundforce for a little more room inside the blind.

backpeddle,


Like the other guys said you’re not going to go wrong with either blind. What I will tell you is I have 3 Power Hunters, and 1 Ground Force blind.

I like using the Power Hunter for youths, and people that have never been a lay down blind. I absolutely love the new Ground Force, why? Well because its the best of both worlds, it gives you the option of packing it in like a backpack, and then when you set it up you have the lowest profile blind on the market today, and it's like being in a Finisher with the doors instead of the lid.

I don't think you will be disappointed with either blind, but I'm going to tell you to see if you can go somewhere and try them both out, and if you can't I would go with the Ground Force.

Please let us know what you end up buying and how you like it.

I'll take a Power Hunter. You can alway take out the bars on the top and hunt in about and inch of grass and look like and inch of grass. There light weight and low profile makes it the best for the west. Ground Force is a great blind also but for me Power Hunter is the way to go.

For me, I would go with the Power Hunter. What I like about this blind is how well I can see out of it, but also the range of motion I can get out of the blind. Now if it is real cold or wet, I will go with the Finisher.

[Mark "LA CROSS" Hoke]

BackPeddle if that is your real name. I honestly like both blinds . The Avery PowerHunter for it's ability to give you 360 degress of visiblity with little to no effort and the Avery Ground Force blind for its low profile and comfort for those cold and raining days . You won't go wrong with either one.

But I notice that your a Junior member. Not knowing your age the ground force might offer you a little more safety with the gun rest bar out in front not saying you need it .

My pick the Avery Power Hunter.

Both blinds are great but I prefer a power hunter. However I feel that you can't go wrong with either blind.

[scott w]

can't go wrong with either but the powerhunter is my choice...you can see great out of it and they hide so well.

[Cody Frazier]

I have hunted out of both this week and without question I would say Ground Force. Ground Force is:

-Warmer
-Faster to jump in when birds are coming
-More comfortable
-Has NeoTub Available
-Keep gun inside out of elements
-Keep ALL gear inside

These are just a few of the reasons I would reccomend the Ground Force over the Power Hunter. You can't go wrong either way but it's hands down Ground Force for me.
The Warmth, comfort, and gun inside influenced my decision.

Also, don't let price make up your mind. If you are out there and uncomfortable you will be wishing you piad the extra $65 bucks and got the Ground Force.

The Finisher only weighs three pounds more than the Power Hunter and it is a much more versatile blind. I actually prefer the Finisher to the GF but that is my opinion. I own seven Finishers and two Power hunters and hunt six guys quite often with great success. The lower profile is only significant when the wind direction, direction the birds will be coming from, as well as the location of the rising sun (shadows) all conflict with each other. It is then that you must be creative with your decoy spread and place your blinds in a position that use the direction the birds are coming from in conjunction with direction of a cast shadow. Wind direction is important but many a limits have been shot out my blinds when we were not facing the direction the birds were coming from to avoid extreme shadows from our blinds. The GF is only 3" lower than the Finisher so I think that the profile height is sometimes overrated.

In any hunting scenario you must always plan your work and then work your plan. Also, both the GF and the Finisher, when compared to the Power Hunter, are more comfortable and they offer better concealment.

Which ever Avery blind you purchase, rest assured that you have purchased the best of its kind in the industry today, bar none!!!
