GSM Outdoors is a multi-brand manufacturer with several well-known brands under its umbrella. Its brand portfolio includes Stealth Cam, Walker’s hearing protection, Muddy blinds and treestands, New Archery Products, Hawk and Big Game treestands, and more. GSM recently announced that it has acquired Down & Out Blinds, which significantly broadens GSM's already diverse hunting stand and hunting blind product line.
Down & Out Blinds occupy a unique place in the concealment segment due to a hybrid design that blends the light weight and portability of conventional pop-up blinds with the greater stability, optimal visibility, and robust feel more typical of permanent or hard-sided blinds.
The Down & Out blinds center on the patented BlindFold technology, which features an accordion-style, multi-panel design that allows hunters to set up blinds in just a couple minutes with no tools required. Providing 360-degree visibility and shooting, screwed-to-frame fabric, all-black interior, and aluminum powder-coated panel frames, Down & Out Blinds are made to be left out all season for turkeys or big game.
Scout and Warrior models from Down & Out Blinds have been engineered to ensure long-term durability and reliable function in any hunting condition. Key features include magnetic window and door closures, heavy-duty roof struts to withstand snow loads, heavy-duty 600 denier No-Shine Cordura fabric, full-length panel hinges, DarkOut black interior, and more.
"All of us at GSM are extremely excited to bring Down & Out Blinds into our portfolio," said GSM Vice President of Sales and Marketing Ben Smith. "These ground-breaking hunting blinds will fall under our Hawk brand and complement our current line of hunting blinds quite nicely — not only with the key price points we’ll be hitting, but also with features and benefits, as these are truly unique blinds that blend the advantages of permanent, hard-side blinds with the easy set-up and take-down of pop-up blinds."
