Zelazny,

Been there , done that, and believe it or not , it really doesn't. If your bow is not properly tuned, improper form, anything that can cause erratic arrow flight, I could see it having an effect, but since it creates slightly more drag on the fletch end, it could have a positive effect. Also, there is a chance the effect, if any , might only show up at long shot distances. But if you are turkey hunting, you should have them in pretty close. My wife wanted to try hunting for the first time last spring on turkeys with a bow, so I bought her a Havoctec. We had several BIG toms in close and numerous jakes. She also killed one of them with a perfect 15 yard shot. I can honestly say in her experience there was no difference in arrow flight. The flip side is it becomes much tougher , especially for her, to draw and shoot without the protection of the screen from the eyes of turkeys. It was a lifesaver for us and the only way to go in my book. We were using a Double Bull t2 , by the way - awesome!! Turkeys in our face!!


As far as the topic goes, I called a guy at Double Bull and he said that mechanicals are not recommended for mesh because of the chance they would open or partially open. I agree with Dave,though - actually give it a try and see. Maybe works with some mechanicals and maybe not with others?? Experience is the best teacher!!
