killed 2 out of mine this year shooting through the mesh. I did practice shooting at a target and it did ont effect where it hit. I only practiced to 20 yards.
Tip: to make sure they cannot smell you use some skunk scent. It stinks butWILL work. i got winded 3 or 4 times in a row on that setup this year. I used some skunknext 2 times and scored.
