Default Shooting from a blind

I'll be shooting from a blind for the first time in a couple weeks. I know the blind manufacturer sells replacement mesh because you are supposed to shoot through it, but is that smart? Seems like the mesh could alter the shot path. I shoot Magnus two blades for Antelope and may have to shoot out to 50 yards.
Any thoughts?

This question is asked alot. Seems people just don't trust the fact that you can shoot through the net, but you most certainly can. The Double Bull boys have been doing it for years, and quite effectively I might add. But confidence is key, so I suggest setting up your blind and shooting through it. See for yourself. Unless you are using mechanicals with the big "L" arms, it just don't matter.

I DON'T LIKE SHOOTING THROUGH THE MESH I LEAVE ONE OR TWO WINDOWS UNCOVERED. REMEMBER TO STAY SCENT FREE.

The mesh is made of such a light material it will not effect the trajectory or the flight path of the arrow. If it does its unoticable. I have shot our of my windows and have seen no change in flight. Your broadheads must be kept sharp, make sure your mesh isnt too tight but not too lose either. If you want to know how fine the material is, put the tip of your broadhead against the mesh and give a slight push, your arrow will go through the mesh like its butter. This mesh was designed to shoot arrows through. I do not recommend shooting mechanicals through the mesh.

Good advice all!
I'd be stupid not to practice from the blind. Kneeling, limb/bow clearance, and shooting through the windows. All needs to be comfortable to maintain confidence.
