Default Shoot Thru Mesh Video(s)

Someone yesterday inquired about shoot thru mesh on hunting blinds. They wondered whether it would affect the accuracy of their arrow.

I took the liberty to take a couple short videos showing that no, the mesh does not in fact affect your accuracy at all.

The first video shows the view from the outside of the blind looking in towards the hunter. You can see that the arrows leave a hole in the mesh.

The second video is from down range looking at the target. (Don't mind the second shot, I punched the release and caused the shot to go high and right.)

I was shooting Gold Tip XT Hunter arrows fletched with Blazer vanes and tipped with a field point. The blind is an Ameristep Doghouse.

*Disclaimer*Yes, I realize I'm skinny. Yes, I realize that my grip wasn't perfect. You do not need to point these things out. These videos were simply a demonstration of a hunter shooting through the mesh of a hunting blind. If you feel like pointing these things out, please don't.
