BigBirddVa has done a bunch of tests on that. As I recall, my bhead of choice, Slick tricks did ok to 30 yds. Try a search here or on xbow forum on AT.
Tried a search, came up unable to follow search string or some such stuff. Several differant tries, used BigBirddVa as author, Is AT short for somthing?
I've never tried it but I can tell you about my goofy son-in-law's experiences. He has shot a crossbow bolt through one twice. One missed the deer completely and the other hit but was a very bad hit. We found the deer after about three hours of tracking in 78 degree weather and it was "gut shot". I can't tell you if it was the screen or just my son-in-law's inability to shoot a crossbow. I would think the screen could act on a bolt / arrow just as if you hit twig or something but I've never tested it.
Also, my goofy son-in-lawhasshot a muzzleloader through the screen from inside the blind. He got the deer but dang near choked to death on all the powder smoke and couldn't hear for about three days, too.
Has anyone had to shoot through the screens in an Ameristep blind before? I have a pop up I will be shooting from this year. Any advice?
I tried a few thru the mesh and the slick trick 100gr. worked fine at 25 yds. I tried some mechanicals and to my surprise some high dollar heads were outdone by NAP Shockwaves, thats all I am going to use this season.
I shot plenty through Ameristep Sreens Deer & Turkey It works great Im shooting A Parker Hurricane 175LB going at 350 FPS Im using 125 Grain Slick Trick 1" standard & Carbon Express Maxima Hunter Bolts
