I hunt with 2 to 3 windows open and the mesh rolled up. I don't trust shooting through the mesh. I think just like in a stand, one must move with stealth while hunting from a blind. It's beneficial to be aware of your surroundings and catch sight of the deer before they catch sight of you, but must be done in the shadows so to speak. As previously mentioned, sitting in a fold out chair towards the back of the blind is a great strategy.

If I had to pick between my stand and my blind based on experience and overall visibility then I would choose my stand. However, I would choose my blind if I valued convenience and ground hunting over visibility.
