I hunt out of an old Double bull T5 pro staffer and love it....I do shoot my mechanicals through the screen (I practiced this before heading into the field) and have taken several animals this way.....I know not all mech's are created equal, so test yours prior to heading afield.....That's just what I have and have been pleased with it but I know there are a lot of other newer one's on the market that are good buy's also!!!!! Good luck with it, ground blind hunting is a lot of fun!!!!!
