    I'm seeing this term being used alot when speaking of Ground blinds.
    Question is, Does shooting through mesh affect the flight of the arrow and possibly cause missed shots? I've seen Uncle Ted use it and I guess it has to be ok... What are your thoughts.

    fixed blade broadhead would be the way to go if your gonna try it. i wouldn't take the chance though. just my opinion

    I can't see taking a chance on it. Maybe some have tried it. I just bought a blind and planned on moving the screen to the side to shoot.

    I've heard stories both ways. The only times we've used a GB we removed the mesh from any window we were going to shoot through.
    If I were going to try shooting through the mesh, I would try to make the angle of the shot as perpendicular (90degrees) to the mesh as possible. And if you don't already, I would use a fixed blade BH.
    Good luck with it.
