AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Trphyhntrs question got me wondering.... Who shoots through mesh and who shoots through an open window. Curious to see if there is a consensus. And maybe why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Through open window. Dont want the mesh effecting arrow flight in any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cramerhunts Report post Posted August 18, 2017 If I'm shooting mechanical heads no way, if I'm shooting fixed I shoot through the mesh as you can get away with so much more movement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigorange Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Only significant blind experience I've had was antelope...shot fixed blades through mesh. No issues for me except the shot that partially hit the window pane/strap and deflected. I wasn't willing to try open windows on antelope based on reports from others with being seen drawing.

bigorange Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Do you need to keep the mesh pulled tight?I think so. The blind I used all the mesh was tight anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted August 18, 2017 if you dont have to look out the back, you can leave the windows closed back there and open the front ones and youre hardly visible. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 I've shot a lot of fixed blades through mesh. Cannot see enough POI shift to concern me. The mesh conceals you SO much better than an open window. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted August 18, 2017 If I wasn't going to use the mesh I'd just make a ground blind out of sticks. The mesh is the best part of the blind imo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

standman Report post Posted August 19, 2017 I shoot slick tricks through mesh all the time. No issues what so ever on poi. Shoot out to 50 yards with no problems. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimberx2 Report post Posted August 21, 2017 I have shot a fair number of critters from my Doublebull, and I think you can divide them into two groups. Turkey and Javelina, No need for mesh. Coues, Muleys, Elk, Bears, Antelope, Use the Mesh!! These guys can see( or smell) you the easiest and the mesh definitely helps. In January when you have both deer and Javelina chances, I keep the mesh up. If Javelinas come in I just pull it down, doesn't effect them. You can shoot through the mesh whether it is tight or not too loose, doesn't seem to effect flight. I shoot wac-ems and the mesh doesn't effect it at all out to 80 yds., if you hit the blind itself, and not just mesh, it will change point of impact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azbow Report post Posted October 2, 2017 Type of vanes make a difference shooting through mesh? Are you using Blazers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
