STALKER SHIELD   Instructions

The Stalker Shield Mirror Blind has now been in continuous use for more than 6 years, and all kinds of hunters have reported great success.  There simply is no other blind that will replicate its surroundings wherever it is used.  Stalker Shield reflects back the terrain that it is placed on and conceals your movements completely.

We have listened intently to all your feedback, and incorporated all the changes you've asked for.  Please share with us any ideas to improve Stalker Shield, and of course your hunting stories.  We will post ideas and stories on this website.

New Features:
1) The rod ends have been remolded to include an eye to facilitate easy tie down in the wind.  Stalker Shield will work in winds up to 15 mph with the tie down pegs and shock cord.

2) Button tie wrap replaces the velcro strap to make the carrying tube work better as a support leg.

3) A knit sock is now included to store the support rods.  This protects the screen from scratching and keeps everything quiet when knocked down.

4) Shock cord and tent pegs are included to use as tie down the Stalker Shield in windy conditions.

5) New Bigger size.  Stalker Shield is now available in the NEW  40" x 67" size and the original 30" x 50" size.  This new size works better as a stationary blind and for big guys.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1.) Put one rod end cap on each rod.  
Insert other end of rods into black handle.

2.) Remove screen from tube and hook one
grommet reinforced hole on each corner
over the rod end hooks.  The grommet patch should be on the back side of the screen.

3.) After hooking three corners it will be necessary to bend (flex) the last rod to insert the last hook into the last corner grommet.  Take caution to release the tension on the bent rod gradually to avoid tearing the hole out of the corner of the screen.

4.)  Your screen is now assembled and ready to use.  Use the carrying tube as a leg to hold the screen up on it's own.  In windy situations use the shock cord and tent pegs to anchor the shield to the ground.

5.)  When positioning the screen on the ground always take into account the angle and position of the sun in relation to the screen.  For best results the screen should be angled down slightly toward the ground to prevent reflection of the sun or sky.  In general it is best to have the sun at your side if possible.  You will find there are many ways to successfully use the Stalker Shield.  Stalking takes practice but you will find it is easy once you try it a few times.  Check out Mike Slinkards successful Antelope hunt for important insights.  Send us your stories to share.

HELPFUL HINTS

1). Scratches in the screen will not effect it the Stalker Shield performance.  If you were shaving in the screen you would notice the scratches, but at the distances the screen is used in the field, the scratches are not visible and will only look like the ground cover.

2.) Small shooting or viewing windows can be added to the screen.  Careful consideration should be given before making this permanent change to your screen.  If you cut a hole in the screen, make rounded holes to avoid tearing at the corners.  To create a viewing window without cutting a hole, apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a cotton swab or soft cloth, and rub off the mirror finish on both sides.  You will have a clear window to look through.

3.) It really is possible to misplace your shield.  It will disappear when used properly.  You may wish to flag your shield if you plan to walk away from it.  Always use viable markers (tape, flagging, fabric) when in the presence of other hunters.

4.) check local regulations for restrictions on the use of camouflage and hunting blinds.

5.) On sunny days, position yourself so the sun is to your right or left.  With the sun behind you, your screen will duplicate its' own shadow and appear darker than your surroundings.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE IMAGE SCREEN WITH ANY CLEANSERS.  To clean use only water.  finger prints and scratches will not effect your screens' performance.  If you put the screen away wet, it may become permanently spotted and cloudy.

Excessive heat while the screen is stored in the tube can warp or discolor the screen.  Store in cool dry place.
