I've bent ferrels on the Wasps and Muzzy's. Never bent a Slick Trick steel ferrel. I've been shooting big Magnus 3 blades this year, also some 125 Slick Trick's. I can also dress up Slick Tricks blades.

The Wasp Bullets seemed to fly better than the Hammers when I shot them.

I made sure it was'nt stretched/staked out to far, actually it's only staked on 2 corners, both on the same side, other side floats. The 3 sides with windows seem to have plenty of slack in the fabric and the windows work great, no pressure at all. You can see there seems to be a difference in how t...

I think I was looking as the Reversable model Doghouse, thats why it had a zipper in the corner, so you can turn it inside out for diff. camo pattern. wabi. was it hard to get the door zipped closed on the Doghouse? The fabric is so tight on this Eas...

did a search, I kinda wanted to know if the entrance was in the corner for sure. I could'nt find anything on the door opening, seems folk's are happy with them though.

I'll give Ameristep a call. I don't want another blind I can't get the door zipped up on.

Thank's kev

anyone with a Ameristep Doghouse blind or other?

I'd bought a cheapo Eastman Carbon pop up, and I'm not happy with it. The fabric is so tight where the door zipper is you can't get it closed. It's actually starting to rip where the zipper is sewn in. I do like the concept though, as this is the first store bought blind I've been in On Ameristep's ...

good luck. I'll be heading out myself here in Ohio. Going to try 2-3 times before shotgun season starts Monday.

I probably won't go out again until after the second shotgun season in mid Dec. :cry:

The Viper is a good stand. I loaned mine out this year, as I'm getting older and don't feel as comfortable climbing and packing a stand anymore. That Timbertall climber looks sweet though :D . Don't waste your money on a cheapo climber as I did the first time around :cry: There scary when they slip ...
