Need help on deciding...
on which blind you would pick. I'm looking at a ground force or a power hunter. Which whould you recommend? I have a finisher but I seem to not to sit comfortably in the blind. And i have broken 2 pieces of my finisher and dont use it that much so Id like to get a differnt blind. Also to be comfortable in my finisher I cant see because my body is so low I cant see as much of the view as I would like to. Dont get me wrong the finisher is a great blind but Id just like to try something new. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

You may want to look into the Power Hunter. Its a lightweight (11lbs.) backpack style blind which makes its very versatile. It also has a low profile and gives you a 360 degree view. I would suggest going to your local retailer if possible and trying both out before you purchase.

Kyle get a Ground Force!!! Issac bought one this year and I love it...I have a Power Hunter and I love it too but man there is not better blind than the Ground Force...it has more room then then the Power Hunter, it sits almost as low profile as the Power Hunter and it even folds like a Power Hunter what more do you need. I plan on getting one SOON!!!

If you have problems seeing out of the Finisher, I would definitely check out the Power Hunter. The Ground Force is a great blind, but the view is the same as the Finisher and I think that you would be happier with the Power Hunter. Go to a local retailer and check out both blinds and decide for yourself.

Powerhunters are the ultimate blind in my opinion. I have 2 and my buddy has 2. We each have one in Shadow Grass and one in Khaki. The ones in Shadow grass are decked out with a pack of Golden Harvest each and the khaki one is basically layered in mud. All of them have the cock-pit bars removed for an even lower profile. I can hide in anything with the Powerhunters and the view is awesome. I can guarantee you will be happy with either the Powerhunter or the Ground Force.
Good Luck the rest of the season.

Purchased a Power Hunter for me and my dad last year and really enjoy using the blinds. They fold up very nicely to haul out in a field on your back, plus you can put your gun in em, the low profile allows you to disapper into low covered fields like bean stubble, and the mesh cockpit allows you to see around you very well.
I would test drive both blinds because the Ground Force has most of those features except the mesh fliptop cockpit. I am thinking about getting a Ground Force for another blind for cold cold weather next year too. The only thing I dislike about the power hunter is the mesh makes it hard to see birds in the far distance but when they are within range were you should be starting to call/flag or get covered up, the mesh works perfect since you can look around and call without worrying about movement. When looking for birds in the far distance, I just keep the fliptop up and flip it down when birds are coming. Great blind overall

The ground force is my most ultimately favorite blind in the world!! It folds up and is like a backpack so you can carry lots of stuff if you have too and it is roomy, and looks friggin SWEET in the field!

Power Hunter's are simple, they dont have the doors and the same comfort that the Ground Force does which to some is a great attribute, but personally I find that since I am usually responisible for spotting, calling, and calling the shot on geese I absolutely love the 360 degree field of view it offers. I find that both of them are easy enough to coneal, the Power Hunter may have the upper hand here but it shouldnt do too much to influence your decision. As far as I am concerned if you want the most comfort possible and if you want the fast shooting offered by the doors on the Ground Force go with it but if you want to be able to keep watch on the Geese and be able to call comfortably and move your head go Power Hunter. No matter what you choose, it won't be a mistake,
