Our local Wal-mart has a single person chair blind marketed by Remington for only $49. This seems like a really good deal if they are practical for crossbow use.  Anybody ever use one of these? Tom

It looks to me like they would work pretty good.  I would probably already have one, but I am a big guy and I do not think I would be able to sit in it comfortably and have room to move as needed.  The only other drawback, if I recall the item correctly, is you are limited to viewing one basic direction.  That would aggravate me if something was moving around behind me and I could not see what it was.  But as long as you have room for yourself and your bow and think you would be comfortable in it, I think it would be pretty good.

I to use the extra large label.At Gander mountain last week I sat in a single person chair blind.Did not have my crossbow,heavy clothing and other equipment but even so felt much confined.
Don't think I would want to set in this blind for any length of time.I like to occasionally change positions , move around a bit,stretch my legs,unable to do so in the one man chair blind.

I’ve never hunted out of one but I have crawled into one that was set up at a local store.  Field of view is okay with all the little ports to the sides and rear but you can only shoot out the front.  If you're a little dude you may be able to stand up (stooped over) and get a shot off through one of the smaller ports but it would be tough for most of us.
If you have a deer path where they are forced to cross in front of you, the chair blind could be effective.  If you want to hunt 360 you will need to go with a different type of blind.  It appears to me that a one man chair blind is great for packing in and out of the timber due to size and weight.  A regular blind is much more functional but you have a lot more weight, bulk and a chair to lug into the woods.

I though those were called a Ghillie suit.

If you're not fully concealed and can move what would be the point of one? Just as easy to throw up some netting and hunt behind that. The same amount of hunter is visible and the weight would be a lot less. I use this chair - ROLL-A-CHAIR - and make a brush blind for places I don't want to take a regular blind to. If you're not enclosed to cut scent down then whatever is easiest and lighter to carry in works just as well. And no way you're going to get a behind you shot in the chair blind should one present itself.


This is the best chair for the weight and cost you can get. I'm not a small guy and I've had one for years and it holds up really well. And it has back support. I cover the legs with camo tape to knock down the shine.
