Do yourself a favor and wait for the FMI Strait Stealth. Well built with the hardcore hunter in mind + the FMI customer service is hard to beat.

+1. Just remember, you're only as concealed as the hunter next to you, so buy two and convince your hunting partners to get one as well.

If FMI ever makes the Stealth in an oversized version for the larger hunters I would agree it would be the blind to get. I had the opportunity to check the Stealth out at the shop on a recent visit. Loved everything I saw. Seemed like a full featured blind on steroids. My only concern was it appeared to have about the same interior dimensions and room as the FA-SUB, which is a little snug for larger guys. If you don't need the room, definately wait for the Stealth. If you want a large and comfortable blind you can't go wrong with the FA Pro Guide XL. I have the Pro Guide for myself, and pack two SUB's for guest hunters. BUT I will definately be keeping my eye on the Stealth. May try to head to the shop this weekend for the Waterfowl Weekend. I would like to actually lay in the blind, and verify interior dimensions for myself. If I'm wrong on SUB comparison I may have to order one on the spot.

I have only seen the stealth on this website but looks good, I also hunt out of a pro guide xl mostly because I`m 6`5" one thing to consider is it don`t break down very well, but is worth the room if your bigger taller........... Bob

I havee got the Tanglefree Landing Zone . Really nice blind. It Does not fold up as small as some though. The are 139 at Rogers sporting Goods. That killzone one looks pretty decent too, never heard of them though so who knows how durable they are. I think most of these blinds are made by the same company over in China anyways.

Ive got 2 ghg ground forces .The older one is the better blind .They both fold up easily and quick and have got plenty of room in them .

I think I'm gonna go with a power hunter for my first blind. Watch the team extreme video, thats what convinced me to get one. Tanglefree's are pretty tight, i've used one and I like it better than the finisher, cheaper too.

I've had two finishers, a ground force and a sub. The only one I have left is the finisher. No problems or complaints with the finisher. Plenty of room, easy to transport and set up/take down. I have only had one issue with it...one of the cams that is used to set the height of the doors broke. Avery took care of me with no hassles. Just my experience.

I hunt out of an SUB. I like it pretty well. Not as easy to set up as I would like, but I have had it a while and it is sure holding up well.
