Looks nice! But my experience has been that you will get pissed off at trying to insert or remove the pin at the X when setting up and taking down. And it will be a pain to deal with if you hunt alone. Locking with straps is a much better solution. I started with the scissor concept and moved to straps for this reason. Plus you can adjust the hight of the framing more easily.

Thats my problem. I want it thick because if I put any kind of back screen it would block the wind and I dont think I could deal with all that heat for teal season.
