I have the regular doghouse & its a bit smaller at 5' square than yours I think. Sat in it a few times but havent seen anything yet but I can draw in there pretty easily, I'm a 28" draw shooting 27 & 3/4" arrows. I have a bgger one thats 7X7 that I got 3 does from this year without the mesh stuff. They look at the blind but cant see you in there so long as only one or 2 windows are open. The mesh scared me at first as I didnt believe it wouldnt affect the arrow flight. 2 of the 3 I shot from my blind this year I shot right thru the window fabric & still got my deer. I only opened the window 4" or so & even tho I practiced like this, while hunting I forgot to make sure I would clear the window & aimed too low punching 2 holes each time thru the tent. Did it another time as well but missed that deer htting a branch. I think I'd a got that one too if the stick didnt jump in front of my arrow. From my above experiences I feel safe saying that one can shoot thru the mesh. Gotta be better than perferating your blind.
