Takea look at the F.A. Blinds they are supposed to be roomier.

Final Approaches are extreamly roomy. On a cold day i can get in my blind:
Me(180lbs 5'10")
My 80lb Black lab
Two guns (one a backup)
A case of pop for me and my buds
My blind bag
Extra Cloths
and the list could go on.

I cant seem to fill it up without putting another person in it!

ive only used my finisher one time but i think the hardest thing is to get in it quick. like say u and your buddies are in a field talkin and some geese sneak up on ya and ya gonna make a runnin entrance.

try the cabelas interceptor me being 6'1 165 lbs can fint easily in it and my blind bag, gun, etc... also i hunt with a guy who is exactly ur size and he uses the cabelas interceptor and can fit all of that in his blind too.

I will agree with IowaMigr8tor, I purchased the FA SUB this year from Scheels. I am 6'2" and almost 235 lbs and I fit in there pretty good. I dont think my lab would have fit but I was very happy with how it handled a big ol' Army Boy. It seems very durable as well.

This is my first post......great site guys , cant wait to learn from you all.

CJSDUCK - Thanks for posting and WELCOME to the forum!!! Kick your shoes and post up brother!!!

As for the blinds....FA ARE roomier and seem to be better built. Avery's are a better pricepoint...my personal choice used to be Avery Finishers - until I broke a couple and my hunting buddies broke a couple. Now...it looks like it will be FA XLand'r or S.U.B. - or maybe one of each!!!!

waterfowl sniper,
I would try the FA SUB, it has plenty of room for a guy your size, had a couple clients in ND that had them and they worked very well. We have 10 X'landers and some of our bigger clients have a hard time keeping the doors closed when the wind blows more than 15-20 mph

check out the wildfouler layout blind from cabelas this might be the ticket for you , i have one and an avery finisher blind , but i like the wildfouler better sets up quicker and is rounded so it has no shaddows and is more comfortable and has tons of space

hope this helps
