    I've never tried shooting through mesh from a ground blind. Just wondering if you can do it with Rage heads.

    Im going to recomend against this. I know you should be able to shoot mechanical heads through the mesh but I wouldnt. I have shot fixed heads through the mesh with no accuracey issues though.

    I've killed 2 deer shooting Rage heads thru mesh. It can be done, but you do need the extra rubber band around the blades.

    Last February I shot two does through mesh with Rage 3 blade broadheads within an hour of each other. No extra rubber bands and no problems. I've also shot a turkey through mesh with Rage broadheads. In can be done and the arrows seem to fly true.
