Ameristep®, the outdoor industry's leading manufacturer of innovative ground blinds, chairs, and related hunting accessories, is proud to announce a Gold Award in the Ground Blind category, courtesy of the readers of Bowhunting World® magazine, once again in 2026.

This year, the brand introduces the Frontline Wide-Bottom Extreme, a hub-style blind providing a spacious footprint that comfortably accommodates up to three hunters and enhances both concealment and visibility. Six silent sliding windows with Extreme View mesh, including four bowhunter-specific windows offering a wide 180° view, keep sightlines broad, while inside, a ShadowGuard™ coating reduces silhouettes, helping human presence stay undetected. Finished with a rugged 300-denier matte-finish shell in Mossy Oak Bottomland camo and topped with a 100% waterproof roof, it's built to withstand whatever is thrown at it.

Readers' Choice Award voting is an annual event where readers of Bowhunting World, a leading bowhunting publication with a 70-plus-year legacy, vote for their favorite hunting brands and products to designate the best-of-the-best distinction in various categories.
