A friend of mine recently purchased a Ameristep Doghouse. We were practicing through the mesh, and both of us had trouble drawing without our elbow raking against the wall opposite the window we are shooting out of. Normally, I am shooting out of a DB Matrix, so I have no worries. We removed the window mesh, and were shooting fine with our arrows extending out of the window. His question for me, which I now forward to you, is does it matter that we are shooting without the mesh? I am thinking there may be a problem with the "black hole effect" but I was alsothinking that if you wear camo inside the blind, then you should, probably, break up the black with you camo pattern.
I was also thinking that he could open the window on the window oppostire the one he is shooting out of, extend his arm out that window, and shoot through the mesh, since he wont have the wall behind him to hinder his drawing.
I should note that he isnt opening the large main window, rather he is opening the small one which is in the center of the wall, only about 16"x24".
I told him he should have bought a DB Matrix, but he just didnt want to listen! [>:]
Any suggestions?
