never seen anything like it before.

In the right light I can see how it would work. Durability wise and on cloudless days I can see it being a nightmare.

I dont know... i think it is a great idea but does not seem to be executed that well. If it is truly made out of mirror material... it might be quite costly to replace a mirror after it breaks. I think that it might be a little bad with sun glare on an animal and also the fact that a buck might charge is a possibility. But if it is a stand off the ground... it would solve that problem. Also, i think it would need far more maintenance than regular blinds if left out in the field. Personal opinion would be that it is bitter sweet. I think that a concept of just taking a side of a mirror to stalk wouldnt be so bad... it could be very versatile and you could probably walk up on/ get closer to game without having to lug a full mirror blind around which could also be pretty heavy

its definitely an interesting idea.

it would be pretty useless for waterfowl; since as they looked down from above they would see the sky reflected back at them. The sky blue amongst the cat-tails would be far from camouflage.

though, for turkeys and deer this is an intriguing idea. Especially if the mirrors are angled down slightly to keep the sky from being reflected.

The catch is of course the glare. The likelihood of getting glare is directly tied to the sharpness of the reflection. The better the quality of the reflection, the higher the likelihood of glare.

It seems like you could reach a happy medium with species that have poor eyesight (deer, elk, etc...). i.e. a fuzzy reflection but a low chance of glare.

Turkeys would be trickier since I've heard they can see better than humans. It would work fine on cloudy days. Maybe a visor system could be set up for sunny days. (think of the way a baseball cap keeps the glare out of an outfielder's eyes)

anyway, sounds like a good entrepreneurship opportunity. Anybody want to join me? maybe we can get some stimulus money? ;-)

Isn't it bad luck to break a a mirror? I hate that on a hunting trip. Oh well, hunters aren't superstitious, are they?

buckhunter, my dad was a sucker for all those gimmicks and gizmos especially for fishing. Some were downright embarrassing others worked, sort of.

Good one Jim. Maybe the company spokes person can be Cool Hand Luke. "I'm shakin the tree boss, I'm shakin the tree".

just look at it this way when the suns out you'll be able to blind the game your after...and here's my idea corn, pine, and mother earth scented windex to clean all the finger prints off of it..

This is very interesting...

The idea for a mirror on your blind is brilliant since it will keep your movement down and you can see what is behind you. But, the shinning of the mirror from sunlight will spook game which makes having mirror worse than moving to see if anything is there. I don't even wear my glasses in the woods because of chance of spooking game.

just another gimic,wouldnt waste my time or my money,bet a deer would see the sun reflecting before it seen the ground on the mirror and if ya had to use it for some thing to see behind you,what ya gonna do stick your head out the window to look at the mirror,lol good one about the windex,,maybe some body should paint it like a pile of corn then the deer can walk up to it and lick it

Years ago, my brother and i wraped a large cardboard box, turned upside down with that reflector sheets for house windows, worked great in the heavy woods until the first major rain, shot 2 or 3 deer from it. by the way i do not know where you would get it, we "borrowed" ours from our grandmother.

gentlemen, this is a solid idea. it is made out of a milar wrapped acrylic and is very durable. the problem with the sun reflection is solved by the angle the stand is built on. there is no sunreflection. also,you don't need sun for the stand to work, you need only light. sun,moon or daylight works. this is not a hoax. it is a great invention. call me for any other questions 940-631-6300

usaidwhat86,
You didn't answer my question, how does a man fit in it and be able to stay for more than a few minutes?

It looks good in photos, but I'll take the low road.
First, It doesn't look like a guy could shoot a bow out of it.. For gun hunting, I don't see the need. Second, if they did make a bow model, I am afraid it would be like a plasma TV screen with a lot of reflection unless viewed straight on. Last it doesn't look very portable.. None the less it's interesting

Looks amazing in the picture, but so do fast food burgers.

ive never seen anything like it.

I could see this dome with the mylar space blankets that act like two way mirrors. I may just try this sometime. I'll make a frame and stretch the mylar till it is taut. 3 (or 4) frames hinged togetjher so it folds flat should be large enough to sit inside and you can see out of the box while criiters looking at you should only see reflected images. Space bankets are really cheap too.

I don't know about this one. Has a good idea, what better camo than the brush around you. But like alot of the others said to much stuff could go wrong and it looks like a dog kennel. I might have to get some of that plastic reflecting stuff and use that like some hunters do with a silhouette of a cow.

what ever happend to two sticks and spray painted burlap or even a bunch of sticks piled up. don't know about anybody else but thats all i have ever used. shoot a turkey every year with a bow out of a stick blind. It's cheep.

What happens when there's a buck on one side of it, a hunter who doesn't know its there on the other side of it, and your dumb axe in between them??

Here's the portable version:

$449!!!

Notice the cameras are always at a fixed location. Still wonder what it looks like to something that is moving. Got to notice something is awry but deer are curious enough to maybe just stand there and stare. Would probably work great in snow. Will be interesting to read field reports from people using it.

OK I have read the comments and here you go! I have feild tested this blind!!!! Personally and all I can say is WOW AWESOME!!! The mirrors are plastic and the frame is metal and what a landfill nightmare! virtually indistructable I even had one that was set in the wood and shot with a 30/06 to see if it would shatter and no deal boys this thing took a bullet through 2 panels and I have pics to prove it! put a hole but no shatter, I set it up in the swamp behind my uncles and had a 10 point buck walk within 8 feet of me and did not hear me or see me!! The 2-way mirrors in the gun ports can be let down and work great to hide movement and scent. all I can say is you gotta NOT see it to believe it!!
www.mirrorhunting.com click on promo watch the prove it video to see what the sun does and live animals and etc...

Yet another Marketing scheme captured from the same orifice as the office fart...

You put up one of these "Glass Grenades" in West Texas during the rainy/hail season and let me know how it holds up...that is, if you survive.

its just something to make money off of i can think of better things to buy

I was on www.GhostBlind.com today. They now have factory direct pricing. The four pannel blind is $299. You really need to see the video to see how mirrored blinds work. The also have a picture showing how the angled mirrors reflect sunlignt down to the ground.

I have never seen this product before...interesting concept. We run guided hunts in Texas, http://www.brinleeranchhunts.com, and would probably be leary of using this product. Just our opinion.

to those who want to know how a hunter could not be overheated, take like 30 seconds additional time and think about the word REFLECTING,, the material REFLECTS the sunlight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much for getting overheated. also, if you angle the walls just a littttle bit downward, the sun reflecting towards the animal wont spook it,,,i am beginning to doubt the thinking process with some of the other respondents.. the materials are out there to make a custom blind that suits you, and the whole thing makes more sense for whitetails, puting on camo that includes green, etc kinda is for other hunters, not whitetail deer who see things in shades of grey, white, black, and all 'colors' (black is really the absorbtion of all colors in an object, ie the lack of colors being reflected)

You could check to see if your face paint was on correctly before entering the box of mirrors!

Seems too impractical for a hunter to take it out to the field due to it's weight and the possibility of the glare of the sun ruining what otherwise could have been a great hunt
