    OK...... Had to ask the question. Have you ever hunted out of a ground blind and shot your blind?

    Story?

    Welcome to the forum jdcjac.

    Answer: Yes! :o I was gun hunting and waited so long trying to decide on whether to shoot a small 8pt or not that by the time I decided to take him he was almost to the point I couldn't shoot. So in my rush to get the shot in an awkward postion I didn't realize my barrel did not clear the blind. I have see through mounts on my 30-30 so I couldn't see the blind material in the scope. After I shot him (about 80 yards) I seen a big torn hole in the blind and thought what the heck? Then it hit me. :) I guess those cheap pop up blinds are shoot through. LOL

    Not shot it yet, but had some turkeys approaching once and I knocked an arrow and was re-adjusting in the blind and accidentially pushed the arrow right through the wall of the blind....

    Thanks a LOT, tx!...:mad::D

    Yes. I've shot my blind. I shot at a turkey in 2007 (20yds).....and couldn't believe I missed. So, as I'm scrambling for another arrow from my quiver, I look up and see it.

    Hole.

    Next shot.....(same bird....but now at 30yds).....................

    I've shot mine twice...one time while antelope hunting and the other while hunting exotics in Texas.
