does any one know if it is ok to shoot thru a screen on a blind with a winchester 30-30. it says for arrows only but it would seem like there wouldn't be a difference.
Funny you should ask.
I hunt on the ground exclusively. So i have hunted out of many blinds including the 6 that i own. I tested this out with the meshing from an Ameristep Brickhouse blind stretched between 2 pieces of wood with a 30-30. Placed the muzzle about 5 inches from the mesh. Pulled the trigger. No more mesh. Or at least very little. I had about a 12 inch square piece of the mesh when i started and was left with very little.
What was left had some melting evident on the mesh itself possibly indicating that the gasses from the muzzle is what actually did the damage but i'm not 100% sure
