Double Bull Ground Blinds
We used Double Bull blinds exclusively on every single hunt of the Grand Slam bowhunt. It got us in the action. Doug Crabtree introduced me to this wonderful bowhunting tool three years ago. Since then I've used it to bowhunt wild turkeys, whitetail deer, antelope, wild hogs and javelina. I can not praise it enough, it is the best ground blind made anywhere. It is totally portable and you can hunt on the move. It sets up in seconds, too. Because of the unique design of the shooting windows it is always dark enough inside the blind to eliminate your human outline. The blind is tight, there is no wind flap, and that is an important issue. In South Dakota the wind was blasting over 50 mph and the blind stayed tight and unmoving. Amazingly, the notoriously skittish wild turkeys do not pay any attention to it, even if you set up in a wide open field!  To Double Bull Archery

EASTON Arrows
Doug Crabtree used the Easton ACC's. They performed just as you would expect any product from Easton would, consistently. I used 2216 XX78 Super Slams and they did the job. I shot 2 of the gobblers and a wild boar with the same arrow! I really like this arrow, it is strong, stays straight and shoots the same arrow after arrow. The nock slides inside the shaft so it is always exactly straight. And adjusting the nock to align precisely with the cock feather is as simple as turning it until it is right. To shoot accurately an arrow has to have consistency ... and that is EASTON.  To EASTON Archery

Spott-Hogg Hunter Hogg-It Bowsight
Doug Crabtree used the Spott-Hogg Hunter Hogg-It bowsight. The fiber optic pins are brilliantly bright even in low light conditions. That was a big plus on the many cloudy days we had when we were inside the ground blind. It was still easy to see the bright fiber optic sight pins. The sight is sturdy, it's all metal and built tough. Adjustments are precise and easy. Everything tightens down rock solid and doesn't move until you want it to. An excellent product with maximum adjustment and accuracy. To Spott Hogg
