Default RE: Gound Blinds "Shoot Through Mesh" ???

I don't use my blind for whitetails here at home as I
prefer to use treestands, but I've had good success
out west. Only way we could get deer to come close
enough for a shot was to really brush up our
blinds and use the shoot-thru netting(Double Bulls').

We've taken animals with 100 gr. T-heads, Wasp SST's,
and Rocket Steelhead's - these days we only use the
Steelheads. With the netting pulled & pinned tight, and
our bows paper tuned, we've never had a problem. I've
actually stood on a chair behind the blind and watched
my partner shoot from inside...arrow flight was perfect.

It took us a couple of years of shooting fixed blades before
we tried the Rocket SH's at camp during lunch one day...
used them ever since.

Everyone who is considering hunting with the shoot-
thru netting needs to practice with it first. If there is a
problem, find it in camp...not in the woods.

I would also recommend staying away from the mechanicals
with "wings" on the end of the blades to help them open, like
Spitfires and Hammerheads. These types will catch on
the netting and affect arrow flight[:@].
