We have take 21 toms this season in blinds. All but 2 were aced through the mesh. It has not affected the shots a bit. Shots were as close as 10 yarda dn several in the 45 yards range. I am using an amerastep blind. Mabey other meshed are not good, but this one had been great.
I take a lot of kids and the mesh has been a god send. My son also took a om through the mesh in a double bull. He was shaking something bad. The bird is dead, but mabey he just got lucky on that one. But for the most part I think the mesh is fine to shoot through. If an arrow is mot affected, not sure why it would bother a shotgun shell. But I learn new things every day.
I think it has more to do with a fire hazard.
