Frequently Asked Questions:

Q:        How does it work?

A:        The GhostBlind® Predator mirror the ground in front of the blind; approximately 6-8' out from the base of the blind. See Videos for real life examples.

 

Q:        Does the GhostBlind® reflect the sun? (This is our most frequently asked question)

A:        The design angles of the mirrors can only reflect the sun to the ground. When set up, the panels are             always angled forward eliminating the possibility of the sun reflecting back to game. Many of the pictures and videos you see on this site are in the direct sunlight, with the sun facing the mirror panels. If you set up the blind on a slope or hill, as with any ground blind, you should not set it at the top of the hill as this will cause sillouitting. If you move down the hill a little, the blind will set up with the angle of the slope, thereby eliminating the sun reflecting back to the game. See illustration.

 

Q:        Can game see itself in the mirror panels?

A:        No - unless the game gets within 3' - 5' of the blind before you shoot.

 

Q:        Won't the sun reflect off of the blind when carrying in the woods and spook game?

A:        No - the GhostBlind® folds with all mirror panels to the inside, with camouflage fabric showing on the outside. It is impossible for the blind to reflect sunlight while in a folded position. We have also taken great care to use all hardware and fasteners that do not reflect the sun.

 

Q:        Can the mirrors be damaged when carrying or transporting the blind?

A:       All mirrors are folded to the inside and protected when transporting. The mirrors are  lightweight, flexible and    unbreakable. The reflective panels may eventually have small scratches and pits which is  to be expected. These marks will not reduce the effectiveness of your blind. Game will never see  these marks.

 

Q:        How heavy is the blind?

A:        GhostBlind® Predator weighs 22lbs

 

Q:        How big is the blind?

A:        The GhostBlind® Predator is 102" wide and 46" high

 

Q:        Is the blind hard to carry?

A:        It is very easy to carry with an included shoulder strap. We have an optional bag that is custom fit to the blind that has a "Total Gear Carry System®" where you can attach all of your gear including, back pack, chair and more. See Total Gear Carry System®.

 

Q:        Does the blind hit the back of your legs when carrying?

A:        No - The shoulder harnesses on the optional bag are adjustable to fit any size hunter.

 

Q:        Can the blind get wet?

A:        Yes - The reflective panels and backside vinyl are water resistant. We highly recommend the blind should be dried out after hunting to eliminate mildew. See instructions

 

Q:        Can I leave the blind out overnight?

A:        No - we do not recommend you leave your blind outside overnight because of excessive moisture and condensation. The GhostBlind® is water resistant, not water proof and should be dried out after use.

 

Q:        Can I fasten my backpack and chair to the blind when carrying?

A:        Our standard blind includes a shoulder strap and bungee cords that hold the blind closed whild carrying. The optional bag and  "Total Gear Carry System®" is designed to easily attach all your gear with the included straps and hardware.

  

Q:        Is it ok to leave the blind in my car or truck in the hot sun?

A;        Yes - special care should be taken to lay your GhostBlind® flat in your car or truck to keep from warping the panels in the extreme heat. If the panels should become warped, you can simply lay it flat for a period of time to straighten the panels.

 

Q:        How should I store my blind?

A:        Hang your GhostBlind® vertically through the observation ports. See instructions

 

Q:        How do I clean my blind?

A:        When cleaning the mirror panels do not use paper towels as they will scratch the mirrors. A soft cloth works best with water rather than a chemical cleaner that may spook game due to the smell. If your blind gets muddy, simply hose it off anddry with a cloth.

 

Q:        Will the wind blow the blind over?

A:        No - use the included tent stakes and string to secure to the ground. See Instructions

 

Q:        How can I see game without being detected?

A:        When viewing game at a distance you can peer over the top of the blind without being detected. Use the observation ports when game is in close proximity.

 

 

Q:        Can I fasten more than one GhostBlind® together for more concealment?

A:        Absolutely

 

Q:        What is GhostBlind® Industries return policy?

A:        You can return your GhostBlind® for any reason for the first 10 days. GhostBlind® Industries warrants our products for 90 days for any manufacturer defects. See the GhostBlind^® Warranty and 10 Day Return Policy for more details.

 

Q:        How do I know that my GhostBlind® will work in my area of the country?

A:        It makes no difference what part of the country you hunt or the type of terrain. Your GhostBlind® reflects any environment in front of it; corn field, grass, woods, snow ... anywhere! This is what makes your GhostBlind® so revolutionary.

 Q:        How durable is the GhostBlind®?

A:        The front panels are made of very durable and lightweight flexible mirror panels which are much more durable and lighter than plate glass. The GhostBlind® is hand crafted in the USA to last for years with proper care. See the Instructions for care.

 

Q:        Why should I hunt on the ground vs. a tree stand?

A:        This is a personal preference. Many hunters like to use tree stands for various reasons. The GhostBlind® is just one more bullet in your hunting approach. Many advantages could include; Comfort, less detection, easy setup, quieter, effective calling on ground, easy re-location, better gear carry system and safer.  See our videos for more information.

 

Q:        Aren't fabric ground blinds better since they protect you from the rain?

A:        True, there are some advantages to fabric ground blinds. The GhostBlind® is not the answer to every situation but is an additional tool along with all your present hunting systems, for those hard to hunt areas.

 Q:        Can I use the GhostBlind® while hunting with a bow?

A:        Yes - the GhostBlind® allows you to come to shoot from a seated position without rising up above the top of the blind keeping hunter concealed. This is not always possible in a tree stand.

 

Q:        Is the GhostBlind® effective in the fall after the leaves fall?

A:        Yes - the GhostBlind® is very effective when the leaves fall as the mirror panels will reflect the leaves on the ground in front of the blind making the hunter and the blind appear completely invisible. It can be more difficult to hide in a tree stand with no leaves and traditional fabric ground blinds are harder to conceal with no leaves and must be left at the site for a period of time to be most effective.
