Practical Product Uses:

Anywhere! That sums up the practical use of the Fred Zink’s Finisher™ Layout Blind in New NatGear camouflage. I have used this blind in almost every hunting condition. From disked corn to rainwater basins or potholes, the Finisher™ complemented with NatGear camo will blend in most almost anywhere. The combination of the Finisher™ blind and NatGear camouflage excels even more on river sandbars and soybean fields.

Tips for Using the Product:

The Finisher is a shallow, low-profile blind already, but if you’re able to dig into the ground a few inches it definitely vanishes. Attach a Killer Weed Kit or take advantage of natural surrounding cover and you can blend into any environment you hunt in. For any hunting situations, I recommend to mud the blind before using it in the field. Simply take a bucket and mix soil and water. Rub the sloppy mixture on the material and you are ready to hunt.

Additional Notes:

A great add on accessory is the AveryŽ Finisher™ NatGear Snow Cover. I have found you can get two uses out of this cover. The snow cover is perfect for chiseled corn or soybean fields with a light snow cover. When the snow gets deep and there is very little groundcover around, just flip over the snow cover to reveal the nearly all white underside. There is just enough color from the outside camo to give the underside the perfect amount of gray to white combination which blends into snow that has been on the ground for a while.

Good write up and nice pics. It looks like the second and third pictures are of a Ground Force though.

Nope, all of those photos are of the same exact blind that has never been mudded or spray painted. I don't know the reasoning but the prototype I got never really glared. Now after a spring and fall of use it is pretty dull. I'm really happy with it on cut soybean fields. It is pretty much right on. On a cloudy day like the photo, you can't see it from 100 yards away. I really like it and can't wait to get a few in the Ground Force.

Great shots of the blind and new camo. I love natgear. I think it'll work most anywhere.

QUESTION: Where'd you get the natgear camo Avery cap?? I need one BADLY!!!!

Do the new finisher's have the same face mesh as the Ground Force?

great pics and write up. I love my finisher and the nat gear snow cover is simply awsome. Good idea on flipping it around for a double duty use.

Doug,
Would you say that the Natgear camo blends in better in sand and soybean fields than a field kakhi finish? Just curious. Great post!
