Does the matrix offer total concealment without the black curtain and does it offer the possibility of pass thru net shooting or open window shooting like the BS5 does?
Hardcore,
the Matrix is much better than the BS5 in my opinion. If you are hunting turkeys you dont need the mesh. It is pinned in at the top but not at the bottom and you simply push it up out of the way. The mesh being loose doesnt effect the broadhead flight at all.
With the matrix, if something was coming in behind you, you would simply close off the window you had open to the front (using the slide buckles) and then turn around and open the window behind you. I always wear black in mine and I have never had an animal see me move. You wouldnt want to have all the windows open on any blind at the same time though. That would let too much light in and they would see you inside. The matrix also has 4 of the oval windows similiar to the BS5 but they sit lower than with the BS5 so if you didnt have time to open the big window you could probly sit on the ground and shoot thru these. It is a last resort window basically.
I have some really good pictures,etc. on my website if you want to takea look.
