I've shot Muzzy's through the mesh of my DB Matrix.

NO problem.
Doesn't affect arrow flight.

You're mistaken on how many times you can shoot throughit, too. I'd say HUNDREDS....not ONCE.

In all honesty, though.....replacing the mesh in a DB Matriix would be NO EASY FEAT. it's sewn in. If I ever have to replace mine (I don't see it happenin').....I'd likely .....HONESTLY......just buy the ASAT blind (due to the cost differences and the reviews it seems to be getting).

Good luck.
