Hunting Is this the ultimate portable hunting blind / hide?

[P8X]

Came across this on a video short, and to be fair it looks pretty useful. It's a series of polished / mirrored panels which reflect the terrain in front of it

Seen them in the past but, IMO, not worth the wedge

I suppose for certain quarry it would work ok but it wouldn't be any good to me when the Jackdaws shite all over it, I would have to take a bottle of windowlene with me

I did see an article in Airgun world years ago about a similar hide/blind. Matt Manning was lugging it around shooting Rabbits.

The best hide I use these days is a black tarp chucked over an homemade wooden frame but I have only tried it around the yard, I think it would work in the fields aswell though especially when they are cutting the silage.

isn't this a snide copy of an original design that came out 10 or 15 years since the name of which escapes me.
i think it had "shield" in the name but could be wrong.

EDIT
was it "shadow shield"

There's lots of copies ... IIRC, the originals were made in the USA by Shadow Hunter

£250 ......bit of cardboard, sticky backed plastic and a pair of scissors would do the job.

I hope that shotgun doesn't have a strong recoil because in that position he'll end up on his arse

Doesn't matter as no one will be able to see it happen

Depending on how he landed that could also be a 'pane' in the arse.
