Millennium TreestandsBlind

It’s been up 2 weeks, multiple windstorms have come through with gusts in the 50mph range, no damage. Hard to set up initially, once it’s up it’s definitely a game changer in terms of concealment. Not vertical bow friendly from what I see but works fine with crossbows and firearms. Biggest drawback is that the windows are so small that you can’t really use them, just have to open the main fly and be stealthier with your movements, still better than no blind. Additionally, the shooting rail on the millennium tree stands are not the best, pretty far from the shooter and only rated for 15lbs, so elbows off the table lol.

Our hunting club purchased 2 of these a couple years ago and needed a third. They have changed the way the blind attaches to the stand – it is NOT an improvement. Further, we had to return the blind (and get a replacement) because the screw that is used to attach the bracket stripped out. It has to be pretty poor metal – I was just using my fingers to tighten the screw. (Warning, I called the manufacturer and they said they have no replacement parts and I should return the item and have it replaced. I hope we never need a replacement part in the future!)The functionality of the blind is excellent. You have options on how much of the blind is open – you can even move the top back so there is nothing covering your head. (A nice feature when getting things arranged at the end of the hunt.) One configuration allows for window in the front and sides of the blind. However, side windows are so small that they are almost useless.I was really disappointed to discover that they no longer include a storage bag with the cover. The storage bags were extremely nice to have for off season. The cover has parts that want to expand - I'm not looking forward to taking down the new cover at the end of the season. (Silly me, I didn't keep the box.)Would I buy it again – probably? I don’t think there is anything that really competes with the functionality of the blind. The earlier version works well with an (oversize) one man ladder stand. I’m not sure the newer version would work on that stand.Tip, if you’re not using a Millennium Tree Stand (our stands are from other vendors) take a four heater hose clamps with you. If the bracket fails you can probably install the blind using the clamps. (If you remember how to lash poles, you can even use para-cord and lash it to your stand.)

I bought my first B1 Blind Sept 2015 and had to replace it this fall 2018 due to squirrels tearing a hole in the top. I was pretty impressed with the quality of material and the blind lasting this long since I opted not to take it down as suggested by millennium. The blind purchased in 2015 was an excellent blind made of sturdy material. However, the new B1 blind purchased in Oct 2018 feels a lot thinner than the first. With this blind I had water dripping through tiny pin holes in the top from the snow melt where there was stitching. I would probably buy the blind again because it is made to fit the millennium ladder stand. I'm just a little disappointed that the quality of the product has gone down and the price hasn't. I don't think this blind would last very long if I were to leave it up all year and will be taking it down at the end of the season.

All-around good purchase. I’ve had this blind for two years now and it stays out year-round still holding up good and very little to no sun damage so far. Would buy again!

This was a great addition to my Millennium "L" series double tree stand. I have had it up for about a month now and no rips or tears. There were lot of pin holes right from the start but they don't seem to cause any issues. It is a very light weight material, the zippers seem solid enough and the camo is good. I use it for crossbow and gun hunting. Looks like I will get a couple seasons out of this tent. It's been cold here in Wiscosin this year and it is great to be out of the wind. So for me it was a very good buy.

I’m sure this product deserves a 5 but purchased after already putting up the tree stand it goes with. Too dangerous to install now. I will install next season when I take down and move

Installs in minutes on the millennium two man ladder. The seams do leak some but will keep you mostly dry. When temps drop down to freezing or below material is noisey. I am 6' 1" and cannot stand up when roof is closed. Overall not a bad product but may not be worth the price.

In my opinion these are overpriced. I bought a hub style ground blind for significantly less and this thing is more cheaply made than that. The material is very thin, as are the supports and tie downs. I know it's not an apples to apples comparison but when you look at the features and materials and the amount of materials in the hub blind compared to this, there's no way these should retail for what they do. I was pretty disappointed in the quality. That being said, it has held up for several months now. Hopefully it continues to do so.
