Hunting out of a Ground Blind
I just bought a ground blind and was wondering, when hunting out of a ground blind, do u shoot thru the mesh window or put it down? What are the pro/cons. I would think that the direction or the bullet would change going thru the mesh.

If you are shooting a firearm, the bullet will pass right through the mesh. Won't affect accuracy at all. Bows with mechanical broadheads may open. Ive heard some will, some won't. I don't hunt archery, so I'm not positive. Also remember to wear hearing protection shooting inside a blind with a firearm. Its incredibly loud with a muzzle loader going off in one.

Make sure you check your state's regualtions on fully enclosed ground blinds. I know in Wisconsin during the Gun deer season one needs 114 sq inches of blaze orange displayed ont he blind in all directions!
Not sure about bow hunting and I this is not the case if used for turkey.

I have 6 ground blinds and the instructions on all of them state that you should not shoot through the mesh with a firearm.
That being said, i did it once. Blew the whole damn mesh window apart. I believe the gasses just melted it.
with a bow, i do it all the time. I have same POI out to 30 yards mesh or not. I use a COC type broadhead though

word to the wise::: homemade deer stands are usually the ones that people fall out of because they are usually poorly constructed and are not properly maintained. if you value your life i say spend the money and buy a quality stand. and always use a safety harness. falling even 10 feet from a stand can cause serious injury and even death. no deer is worth being paralyzed for life or being dead.
