Should of posted this earlier but when I bought my 2ndblind last week tried the Rage tru it and it failed,opened up and hit my target really low,dont know if it was my fault for not makeing sure it was closed all the way before I shot or if it opened up going thru the mesh but how often do you look at it when your aiming and getting ready to shoot....Anyway I put the Wasp on my arrows now and have the Slicks on my other CB so now when I get out for my last(hopefully not)hunt I will be ready if the opertunity comes by.The Rage shoots fine other then that.....
Just thought I would let you guys know......

Ranger, I was afraid the rage would open on the shoot thru mesh, glad you posted this, I will use slicks when in my blind.

I'd also be afraid of a mech. opening up shooting thru the mesh. My blind doesn't have it. I was thinking of putting some up but I doubt I will. I just keep the small flaps open and sit back where I can't be seen.....until it's too late.....lol I was wondering about that with Spitfires. Prolly most could open. Thanks for the post. Good info to know.

I also was wondering about weeds / tall grass.... will that cause the blades / blade to open early.....hmmmm.... maybe.
