Great video. I have 3 of the 360 series blinds, we love them, the only downfall I’ve experienced is birds or woodpeckers doing some damage on the outside. Had to put gorilla tape and camo tape as a quick fix until I can come up w something more permanent. Would love to share pics; let me know how I send if interested.
I purchased a Muddy Bull Blind over a year ago. I live in Western Canada. Before I purchase the blind I knew the roof needed work and the floor in my opinion was poor quality. I utilized a spay foam inside and outside on the roof and all of a sudden it became solid and not subject to movement, bugs or moisture. The floor was thin and made of ABS. I added 3/4 plywood, glued and screwed it down. I caulked all around inside the building. So far I have not had a problem with moisture getting in. I have noticed the door should be tighter and that can be resolved very quickly. I have had some flies and moths get in and I believe that is the issue. I will give the blind a complete going over to ensure I don't develop issues that you point out in your review. Thanks for the review. I may purchase a 360 in the future. When it comes to tower construction there is nothing better than my welded 2 3/8" pipe stand for strength. My towers are superior to anything on the market.
Thank you for sharing. We have seen similar issues as described with the muddy blinds. They are also very heavy compared to the redneck making it harder to deploy. One thing I recommend with the redneck is to put Vaseline on the rubber gasket around the windows. This will help reduce water penetration and stop the rubber from sticking.
Hi Doug - Thanks for watching. We haven't done a Ranch King comparison. Not sure I've seen one here in WI. I looked them up, looks like a nice set up and glad you like yours, that's what is important!
We've had 2 Shadow hunter blinds for 3 years and they're like they were when we bought them, no leaks or bugs, great blinds similar price, maybe a touch less expensive. They have an outer black plastic window cover that works like the 360 and the inner windows slide down too
So as far as the sticky windows, get some teflon powder dry lubricant and put it on the rubberized weather seal. Did it two years ago and still working great. Zero stick and zero noise.
Great video. What’s your thoughts on Sportsman’s Condo? I’ve been using them at my place for 5 years. I have multiple models (videos on my channel if you want to check them out). They are all plastic, no rot. I haven’t had any water issues at all, zero. I like the simplicity of 4x4 legs. Downside, no insulation and very echoy.
Haven't hunted in or installed a Sportsman's Condo, but sounds like you are having good luck with yours, which is great. Looks like a different price point than what we covered in this video, but if they are working, that's fantastic! Thanks for watching and appreciate the support!
Can you do a review on Nxt Gen Blinds and the differences between them and 360? I am looking to buy 4 blinds and these are the 2 brands I am looking at but can't decide which to buy
You have Orion listed in the comparison chart but I didn't see a review of that blind here?? I have a dealer by me and wanted more info on the Orion. I like that fact that it comes in sections and you don't need to kill yourself moving it with a tractor.
Orion is one of the new kids on the block. Certainly the mobility of the blind is a positive. Price wise they are on the mid to high end of the market. We have looked at them pretty extensively. I would say the aluminum construction is decent. With that the, insulation is necessary to maintain warmth and provides some structural integrity. We are not fans of the hinged windows with rubber seals for the same reasons noted on the others in our video. My biggest issue is having a two piece roof with a hinge. They use an RV seal to prevent leaking and I think the long term viability of that is to be determined. I just don't like having seams in a roof, especially when freeze thaw of snow and ice are involved. Hope that helps some and thank you for watching
Thanks for the question. The 360 in the video is 6 years old. Works exactly the same as a new one. Zero leaks, windows all work as original. No signs of fading or peeling anywhere. We will have a bunch of them in different configurations occupied this weekend for WI gun opener. If there’s additional info I can help with, please let me know!
Two 360 blinds for warm weather environment I would like to see a sliding screen if possible that would again if possible camouflage u butt of course u may look at using binoculars to see out
Comparable to the Redneck w/ the same window issues. Originally seemed to be an upgraded Muddy. Dont see many of them so can’t comment on the long term durability.
Hello - yes the 360 blind is 100% configurable to your liking. You can both change the window locations and swap out as many archery windows as you'd like. Thanks for watching!
360 Pro Series starts at $2795 + tax. Looks like the nearest dealer to you is in Lott, Tx. You can look them up on the 360 Hunting Blind website. Thanks for watching!
@@DavidBorisenok they seem to now be nearly identical to the new version of Muddy Blinds. Just installed a brand new one for a customer this week. There was already water inside all the window weather seals just sitting on the dealers lot. Hasn’t been in the field yet. Not real a confidence boost.
To me your company should have fully have replaced the blind and dropped all warranty on the next one..until you figure out all your flaws ..for me it's much cheaper to build my own I used camper windows that slide I made mine 6x8 and love it
Glad you built a blind you like, but I’m not at all sure what you are referring to in your comments. As stated, we are a 360 dealer with several hundred in the field with minimal issues. As far as the other brands we referenced in the video, we have installed and replaced many of them but I can’t speak to their warranties. At any rate, hope you have a great hunting season!
Totally agree with Matt. I have some 360 blinds and they are excellent. Durable. Water tight. Quiet. Great value.
Thanks Jason! Appreciate the support and thanks for watching!

I have a shadow hunter blind and it has been perfect,really like the window system.
Great video! Very informative and thought provoking. I'm in the market for a box blinds and this video answered a lot of my questions
Glad some one done a video like this. Have you compared a mb ranch king blind yet. Love ours. The 360 looks awesome

1st year with a 360 love it
Glad it's working out for you and thanks for watching!

Do you have any 360 blinds that are 3-10 years old and show how they compare with wear and tear vs muddy and banks?
Thanks for the question. The 360 in the video is 6 years old. Works exactly the same as a new one. Zero leaks, windows all work as original. No signs of fading or peeling anywhere. We will have a bunch of them in different configurations occupied this weekend for WI gun opener. If there’s additional info I can help with, please let me know!
Would you say the 360 is the best money can buy or would there be a better blind in your opinion if you were able to spend more?

I’m curious what your thoughts are on the Hawk Office Blind
Comparable to the Redneck w/ the same window issues. Originally seemed to be an upgraded Muddy. Dont see many of them so can’t comment on the long term durability.
Are there more archery windows available if u want more and can u rearrange the configuration of windows??
Hello - yes the 360 blind is 100% configurable to your liking. You can both change the window locations and swap out as many archery windows as you'd like. Thanks for watching!
What does that 360 blind cost and are they available anywhere in the Houston, TX area?
360 Pro Series starts at $2795 + tax. Looks like the nearest dealer to you is in Lott, Tx. You can look them up on the 360 Hunting Blind website. Thanks for watching!
What is your position on Hawk Blinds?

@@genesiscustomfoodplots I am just concerned about caulking all the joints on the 360, caulking required at each joint.
Tinted is too dark ,shooting screen on the outside glare works perfectly. All of these blinds néed at least 12” overhang !

Orion blinds are the best blinds on the market. There's no comparison to any other blind out there.
Hi Jeff - thanks for watching! Glad you like your Orion. Have a great season.
