I shot my ten point about 3 weeks ago through the mesh and I use the Rage 2 blade broad head. It did not affect the shot at all. I did not really want to test out the mesh shooting at a nice buck but I did and I have the head at the taxidemist as we speak.

I'm glad that worked out for you. But, as a common practice, I would not advise shooting any type of mechanical head through mesh.

You can use the Duck hunting mesh made by mossy oak available at academy as replacement netting. We cut about a 2X2 hole in a sheet of plywood and use that as a blind front. We will staple the academy mesh around the hole, and swap it out after about 4-5 shots, or when it starts to get loose. Jason Slocum

I rigged up a pop-up here at home like Chunky described and practiced shooting through it. It didn't seem to effect arrow flight at all. So I rigged up some of my windows at the ranch. Unfortunately, when shooting at a doe this weekend I ended up having to shoot through one of the manufacturer's windows and it didn't work out so well at 15 yards. Clean miss! I knew when I saw the arrow in flight it was WAY off course. There was a slight angle to the shot, but, definitely not what I would call extreme. Needless to say, I'm done with mesh.

However, I do like having the mesh up. And using Chunky's method I can leave it up until I want to shoot and then just silently release one of the alligator clips and fold the mesh back to shoot through an open window. Did it that way Sunday morning and it worked perfectly.

Here is the result:

Congrats on the great shot. Do you have a pic of the rest of the deer?

[Chunky]

congrats on the fine shot.
