Has anyone used the RAM bow blind or Phantom Blinds? Thoughts?

I would be a little leary of the RAM blind given the structure is all screwed together but it is just plastic supporting everything. I have been in one in high wind and the thing seemed about ready to come apart, and was coming apart in places. Not the best design,
A single piece unit like the Phantom would be a better option in my mind, given the similar style of each and the window configuration on each. Seems much more solid and will probably last a good while longer.
For budget options, Hawk and Millenium make some soft sided blinds that can be elevated and offer a good blind for about double to triple the cost of a typical ground blind. I have had a soft sided from Cabelas as well, and it worked well for about 2 seasons until the zipper on the entrance became stuck. I left it up year round. I am sure some silicone lubricant or something could have worked that zipper free had I tried. But I was ready to buy a hard sided blind then and didn't care to try and rehab the soft sided blind.

Single piece, no seams and round design is what has been working for us. We use Krivoman blinds they are very similar phantom minus the floor. Excellent for bowhunting. Softside blinds work better for rifle and best to take down after season unless you want to buy a new one every other year. One other thing to consider is how easily is it transportable on the road and in the field moving spots.
