GSM Outdoors Acquires Down&Out Blinds

Acquisition Expands Company's Portable Hunting Stand Category

Grand Prairie, TX – GSM Outdoors, LLC, a multi-brand manufacturer and technology innovator of premium hunting and shooting products, announces the recent acquisition of Down & Out Blinds. This acquisition 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-side blinds.

The Down & Out blinds center on the patented BlindFold technology. This technology 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 long. Key features to the Scout and Warrior models have been engineered to ensure long-term durability and reliable function in any hunting condition. They 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 Ben Smith, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. "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."
