powerhunter question! Help!

[Zach Byron]

Alright guys, I just picked up a powerhunter tonight, and got it all set up....or so I think...It seems like when i get in and lay down my feet are at the end before i can get the top closed. i am only 5'9"! Is this correct or should the back sit up higher or what? Its def. low profile, but I mean there is no way a full sized adult could fit in there! It seems like my seat isnt tight, and it slides a little bit to the back, making the back not very tight, it slouches...any help would be awesome guys!

I would double check on the box and make sure you didnt buy a youth model. Im 6'3" and 250 and i fit fine in mine.

No, it says Ducks Unlimited on it...but its a normal Powerhunter...

I wish I had my list/picture of the PH that comes with it to give u the proper names of the parts - It sounds as though you don't have the straps on the back of the seat around the bar properly. The backrest should not slide at all. The straps have to go under the bar properly so that the force of you laying on the seat will not loosen the straps. I am probably not explaining this very well - but sounds like what might be happening. I am 6'2" 220 and fit in er no problems at all.

So do you wrap it around both pipes in the back? Like around the one that you can pivot...and the other one...if that makes sense?

Both me and my dad are 6 foot and we fit in the blinds fine too so you must not have it sit up right, I hope.

There are two straps that are sowed to the blind on the buttom below the backrest. Those two straps should allow the bar to sit perfectly against the back of the blind at a 90 degree angle or more and those two straps should then be tight against the ground. The back of the blinds fabric should be tight.
Then there are straps that are attached to the backrest that go around the bar were the fliptop is attached too. These also should be tight and have the plastic snap clips on them to adjust the tension.

Hope that helps

You either have the youth model, or have set it up incorrectly. The power hunter blind is very easy to work with. I am 6.0 and have PLENTY of room to spare. Sounds to me like you haven't fully pushed the bottom bar toward the back corner of the blind. In other words, the bar isn't fully to the front (the end with the mesh canopy) of the blind and so the seat doesn't feel right. Good luck and if you have trouble, look back at your set-up instructions.
