NXT Gen Blinds

NXT Gen Blinds

The practice of managing land to cultivate high-quality whitetail deer is becoming increasingly popular across the United States. Hunters are clearing land, creating food plots, planting screening cover, and using elevated blinds. I enjoy exploring the various types of elevated blinds at the outdoor expos and shows I attend.

 

One company that really stands out to me is NXT GEN Hunting Blinds. What immediately caught my attention were the unique features that differentiate these blinds from others. Made in Stoneboro, Pennsylvania, they are designed to be scent-tight and remarkably quiet, thanks to their carpeted interior. This distinctive selling point intrigued me, and I was fortunate enough to speak with Jalin, a sales manager at the company, who kindly invited me to tour their shop.

 

Jalin graciously took me on a tour of the NXT GEN Hunting Blinds manufacturing center. I observed the careful assembly of the blinds, which included creating double-pane tinted windows and constructing bases for 5-foot blinds. Each part of the blind was made and assembled into kits ready for shipping. Jalin mentioned that the blinds are scent-tight and extremely quiet due to their carpeted interiors, which spoke volumes about the quality of their manufacturing process. This left me feeling reassured and confident in the product.

 

Jalin and I left the shop, and he took me to view a few completed demo models. He explained that NXT GEN manufactures two series of blinds tailored for hunters: the NXT GEN Classic Series and the NXT GEN Deluxe Series. Both series come in various sizes, including a 5-foot base with eight sides, a 6-foot base with ten sides, and a 7-foot base with twelve sides. Other standard features include:

As I inspected the finished blinds, I couldn’t help but admire their impressive features. The whisper-quiet window track system was a significant improvement, showcasing the innovative design of the blinds. The effortless movement of the windows, which slide up and down silently, was truly remarkable and a feature that would undoubtedly enhance the hunting experience. For archery hunting from the blind, the double-pane tinted windows are ideal, offering both visibility and concealment.

 

5′ Eight-Sided Blind

The 5′ Eight-Sided Blind, featuring a side entry, is an excellent choice for solo hunters. Its interior dimensions measure 58.5 inches from panel to panel and 63.5 inches from angle to angle, offering plenty of space for a comfortable hunting experience. For an additional fee, window ledges and shelves can be added, allowing further customization of the blind to suit your needs.

 

6′ Ten-Sided Blind

This blind features two entry options: side entry and bottom entry. Its spacious interior dimensions, 73 inches from panel to panel and 78 inches from angle to angle, provide plenty of room for two hunters and their camera equipment. Archers can comfortably shoot whether seated or standing inside the blind.

 

7′ Twelve-Sided Blind

The inside dimensions of the blind can best be described as massive, measuring 90 inches from panel to panel and 93 inches from angle to angle. It comfortably accommodates three grown men, providing enough space for them to sit or stand. Even with three hunters inside, there is still room for a heater and camera equipment.
