ground blind question?
 

I purchased a new blind that advertises the shoot thru mesh windows. Has anybody shot an arrow thru this stuff if so any deflection, obviously it stands to reason expandables are not a good choice but I don't shoot them anyway. Well asking has anybody ever shot thru one w/ a shotgun I can't imagine it changes pattern but just asking.

I wouldnt shoot a shot gun through it!!!!!! If you are turkey hunting take the mesh out if you can. Turkeys dont care...

I've shot a LOT through Double Bull mesh with numerous different b-heads. In fact, we had a fairly extensive test and actually hung the shoot through mesh over our tuning frame and shot several different brands of b-heads through mesh up to 30 and 40 yards. Following and totally agreeing with Double Bulls suggestions, we found that the Rocket mech b-heads with straight blade tips shot the best. For this reason, I insist on shooting Rocket Slammerhead 90's (1 3/4" cut) and Rocket Steelheads (1 1/4" cut)for my Gobbler hunting when forced to shoot through window mesh. For instances that the windows are open I then use a slightly larger cutting head that features the L-type blade tips like the 2" Rocket Hammerhead. It's been my experience that there simply is NOT a better choice for a Turkey b-head than a large cutting mech b-head.

Slammerhead 90


Hammerhead 100


Regarding shotguns through the mesh, don't worry about it at all. I hosted a few diffenent hunters last year from my Double Bull Matrix and they took 4 different longbeards from my blind with 12 gauges..... without lifting or rolling up the netting. I would personally not advise it though,simply because the shotgun blast melts and tearsaway about a softball sized hole in the mesh! It neveraltered the shot one bit because all Gobblers were stoned in their tracks! LOL! I would still prefer to use the mesh in all case however. It just minimizes the chance of a silent bird sneaking in and busting you. Even the slightest bit of movement when the suns angle is wrong through a window can spook the wariest of Tom. I'll take every advantage I can get and it simlpy allows a hunter to move around comfortably. Good luck and good huntin this Spring.

Hey Bullmoose, good to see you are still going to be around for this season. Lets get together this spring, I hope that we can get together this time.
Are those shots through the mesh, or are they with the DB's windows open?

RE: ground blind question?
 

the shots are without the mesh
