In my opinion no mechanicals should be shot thru mesh windows. Suprisingly rages website says both the 2 and 3 blades will shoot through the mesh on qaulity blinds without deploying. The way I see it, if something can go wrong while bowhunting it will, special at the moment of truth. So I try to do my best to take out as many variabls as I can, that way less things have a chance to go wrong when that big one is standing in front of me.
