Best Box Blind

[melikiehonda]

Currently looking at getting my first box blind — Primarily used during late season archery (Ohio). In open AG field, prefer it to be elevated.

Seems like the market is saturated with any and all types.

I’m looking at a Redneck ($4200’ish) or a Diamond ($4700’ish) … both with towers.

Any thoughts or recommendations will be appreciated.

build or have someone build you one. I've built 5 so far this spring for others.
Sturdy as hell, and they run about 3300.00$

I would stay away from redneck. Def stay away from muddy.

Any of the rotomolded blinds get my vote. Grizzly, banks, titan.

Grizzly has to be the best I've seen

Diamond is newer so a lot of folks won’t have experience with em. I’m extremely impressed. I’ve also heard good things on grizzly but I haven’t tried one.

I have Redneck(3), Banks(2), Shadow Hunter(2), 360(1)and a Grizzly(1) . I’d put Grizzly first, but, they nickel and dime you on accessories ie shelves, lighting, window blinds, 4 x 4 inserts if you build your own tower etc. Redneck, Banks include those things. I’d say Grizzly, Banks and Redneck are above others. Can’t go wrong with those 3.

Having both Banks and Redneck, I’d go Banks all day.

I agree with your assessment. Love Banks. I have had issues with the door handle lock. Not well made and glitchy if that’s a word. Both locks broke and I installed padlocks.

After 3 years I hate rednecks. Pretty nice to start. I have been getting rid of them. One left.

Curious why everyone not a fan of Rednecks?

Windows leak like crazy. Floor warps. Fiberglass cracks in corners. Window gaskets (foam) degrade and 9 million flies get it. Winder operation requirea alot of movment and locking in a sting. And if it ever hits ground its guaranteed falling apart.

Have had a rotomolded blind blown 100 yards by a derecho and was completely fine.

Similar… after a couple years, Window leaks, door warped and the door latch broke through the fiberglass when the door warped.

That said, they did replace the door latch key when we lost them for no charge.
