Have never used a commercial groundblind like the brickhouse, but am considering it this yr as a quick 2nd or 3rd hunting site. My question for you guys that have used one, is how does shooting a gun through the mesh effect it? How bad does it tear it up, and how long/many shots can you do this before you have to replace it? And if you think it would be better to open the mesh window, how noisy is it to do? They seem like they would be good, except for the last comment about the heat in them. The first half of last yrs gun season here in Texas was sweating hot just in a tree stand. Thanks guys.
