    Safe...yes like no one will get hurt...but it will open most mechanical heads up....and that will affect the flight of them a little or A LOT don't do it.

    Personally, I wouldn't chance it. If I were you, I'd try it a couple times and see what happens.

    I've never liked shooting fixed through mesh. I've found it makes a difference. I take the mesh off the windows I shoot out of.

    I wouldn't do it with either. Too many things that can go wrong in my opinion. The fewer things I have to worry about the better when bowhunting.
