So, I'm searching for the perfect pop-up blind.
Since perfect is in the eye of the beholder, I'll explain.
The blind needs to be made of durable,strong fabric, and not that popular see through stuff. Weight is not an issue as this isn't going to be used as a "run & gun" blind. I put it up in a spot I know will see activity throughout the season and it will stay left up for two months.
The blind has to have camo colored shoot through mesh windows. Not black mesh, not black open windows.
It needs plenty of tie on spots around the blind to be able to "brush" it in. Not should have, has to have.
Size isn't too critical other than it can not be one of the popular "family" size blinds. I hunt alone and have no need or desire for one of those huge circus tents.
So who makes my "perfect" blind? I'm not finding it!

I assume this is for shooting your trad bow, so you need a high one?

You are likely going to have to make it yourself in all honesty.

Doesn't have to be too tall as I shoot a little 52" recurve from it. Price, 250-300 tops. Course no fabric is perfect, but heavy vs. light.

Barronett makes several, that will fit your preferences.
They are by far my favorite blinds to use, but I go for the taller ones like the Big Mike.
All of my Barronett blinds (I'm on my third) have been left out year around for several years at a time, but unless the cows get them (which they eventually do where I hunt) they survive the weather very good.
Leaving them out all year for a few years, and they might fade, unless in a good shaded spot, but supposedly they have addressed that issue. The blind I currently have from them is going on it's 4th or 5th year of being out year around.
Only leaving it out for two or three months at a time it should last you a very long time, if not your lifetime.

Maybe I'm not seeing it Rick, but I don't find any tie ons on them to brush them in.

All of mine except one have had them, and even with that one I didn't have any trouble brushing it in.
But, I always set mine back into a bushy spot, or tree mot to start with, so I have plenty of vegetation around it to tie & hand brush on.

Nearly all of the blinds I've had used to have a band sewed around the blind that you could zip tie brush/grass/corn stalks onto the blind. Lately I'm not seeing it anymore, and I won't buy a blind without.
