Ha, dont think i'll be toting them on run n gun hunts no matter how much time i spend in the weight room, but they will see action on bowhunts when the blind is used.

Yes they are heavy but we have killed six gobblers over the Jake and breeder this year..... The jake has taken a beating like I have ever seen multiple times

How do they compare to DSD?

I've never used the DSD, know folks that have,, DSD is a quality product for sure. The avians being collapsible is the reason i went with them. After a couple times out I realized they send you the carrying bag for a reason. Leave the avians blown up for the season as the folks at avian direct. Works a lot better that way. Another plus is the avian is in a suitcase headed to the airport in the morning. Ha
