    I'm thinking bout setting up my blind on the edge of a marsh ticket. I have a db t2 blind with the mesh window in front. Have any of you ever had trouble with accuracy and shooting through the mesh? Is is better to have it a little loose or stretched out tight?

    I've shot through it before with no problems but I'm still very leery of it (I shot a raccoon). Now I pull it down so I don't have to worry about it. If you do shoot threw it keep the mesh tight

    put it down, you can shoot thru it though. i read an article, mabey american hunter, not sure, they did a study on shooting thru mesh. rifles and shootguns no difference. then fixed blades and mech. blades and there was some bigger groups shot and more errors/ missed shots. think they shot at 25 yards, may be off on that # but the overview of the article was to put it down for bowhunting.
    i personally shot a muzzy 3 blade thru a blind last year, 10 yard shot, i hit slightly higher than i wanted and it started to rain. needlees to say i spent approx 18 hours over 2 days looking for that deer and never found him. i read the article a month after that and was dissappointed all over again. haven't hunted that blind this year but if i do the net will come down, also switched to the rage 3 blade. it tore up the buck i shot on the 1st of nov. . good luck
