Disappearing into one’s surroundings requires careful concealment; something successful hunters always pay critical attention to. Unfortunately, this often includes cumbersome camo systems that make vanishing and shooting difficult. It does the hunter no good to be addled by unwieldy clothing and burdensome cover if they are unable to easily shoulder their iron or draw a bow.
Ground blinds have revolutionized the hunter’s ability to hide in plain view, remain totally indiscernible, and do it in complete comfort. The only way to hide better is to wear an awkward ghillie suit and sit painfully still.
Recently, the clever creators of concealment at Ameristep had the proverbial giant light bulb go off. After mulling over these principals of camouflage effectiveness, the engineers walked away from the drawing board with a design for a ground blind that works like no other. Essentially, the new-for-2016 Ameristep Arcane Blind is one big ghillie suit – one you can sit in.
The Arcane sports three front walls constructed of see-through HD mesh covered with Ameristep’s proprietary Edge-ReLeaf three-dimensional camouflage. The result is the ultimate in concealment, visibility and breathability. The same leafy goodness covers the solid fabric roof as well. The back wall consists of solid camouflage fabric with a black Shadow Guard inner liner that does an amazing job of erasing silhouettes.
The innovative Ameristep Arcane Blind makes peeking around a solid fabric wall to see what’s just out of view a thing of the past, as approaching game can now be seen right through the blind walls. And those wary eyes won’t have a clue what’s lurking within those leafy shadows.
There simply isn’t a better option out there for observing wild animals as they go about their daily lives, making Ameristep’s new Arcane Blind an obvious choice for teaching and mentoring youth and new hunters. Those who film their hunts will also appreciate the Arcane’s unique ability to conceal while affording maximum visibility to surroundings. Hunting guides should also take a serious look at the Arcane Blind as a go-to option for putting their sports right in the thick of things.
As effective as ground blinds are, they have negative psychological effects on hunters who struggle with confined spaces. The Arcane Blind’s dramatically increased visibility and improved airflow open up the incredibly effective practice of ground blind hunting to many hunters who would never have otherwise tried it. And the improved airflow afforded by the Arcane Blind opens other, more universal hunting applications and benefits.
Anyone who has endured a hot day during spring turkey season or early deer season while sitting in a conventional ground blind knows just how stifling it can get inside those closed walls. The Ameristep Arcane Blind breathes like no other blind, letting hunters stay in the game longer. And with its roomy 59”x 59” footprint and 75” shooting width, the new Arcane Blind is like a tranquil screened-in porch… smack dab in the middle of that big buck’s lair.
Revolutionary design concept aside, the new Arcane Blind comes complete with all the features that make this blind worthy of the Ameristep name. The Arcane Blind is built around Ameristep’s infallible Spider Hub System, ensuring the solid-as-they-come Arcane is, well, a breeze to deploy and stow. What’s more, the Arcane Blind sports the Silent Slide Window Track System to kill unwanted sound – no Velcro or zippers to fiddle with at o-dark-thirty when you (and everything else in the woods) can hear a pin drop. Of course, the all-new Arcane comes in a convenient carrying case with stakes and tie down straps included.
