Rufus, that website is the first place I looked....  They don't have anything even close.  Just "bent pole" type tents.  Unless I'm looking in the wrong place????

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Dave, I don't have them in my dealer book either, but I can check and let you know what I find out.

OK Dave, here is what I found out.  It sounds like the Panther Boy Scout tent is indeed the one you had seen.  It is made of a fabric they call Polaris Canvas which is a nylon/cotton blend, and does have a greenish blue color.  It does have the roll up side walls with grommets.

There are different sizes, but from what you describe one of these are probably what you saw:

9'x7'6", 7' center height and 3' side walls,

9'x9', 8' center height and 4' side walls,

The person I spoke with at Panther said that she had slept in those tents a number of times.  Her recommendation is that for slightly more money a better option would be the standard wall tent with Sunforger Canvas and optional roll up side walls.  

Sunforger allows more light in and breathes better than the Boy Scout canvas.  A 10x8' wall tent has 4' side walls and 8'4" center height.   Yes, a little more money, but might serve you better in the long run.
