Shoot Through Mesh
 
Do you use it when hunting deer or turkey out of a blind, or do you drop it down and try to blend in to the backdrop of the blind as best as you can.

I am bowhunting turkeys for the first time this year and am wondering. Also has anyone noticed any change in their arrow flight when going through the mesh?

Thanks,
Dan

No need for the mesh when hunting turkeys. Wear black (or whatever color the blind is inside), and you will be fine. Make sure all the windows are closed, except that of which you are shooting out of.

I do the same thing as Kyle for turkeys, but for deer I have used the mesh and have practiced through it out to 40 yards with mechanicals and did not notice any difference in flight and have taken 6 deer out of my doublebull, I used to have a invisiblind too that I did not have any problems shooting throught the mesh...Good Luck...

Deer, I use the mesh.

Turkeys, I leave it wide open.

I am shooting a fixed blade too. If I was hunting by myself i would definately take it down, but I will be hunting with my 7 year old daughterthis weekend. I have been taking her for a couple of years and she actually can sit pretty still, but I thought the mesh might help a little bit if we have the close encounter I am hoping for. Arrow flight is my main concern.
