Shoot threw blinds

[394-NTELK]

Who has used pop up blinds and can you really shoot threw the screens or does accuracy suffer to much.Also would they open expandable heads?

I've shot a couple of deer out of pop up blinds with shoot through windows and yes they do work. I noticed very little difference in impact after shooting through mine. At 50 yards I was hitting about 1-2" low and slightly left less than 2". I shot out the mesh in my extreme blind practicing out of it this year, literally 100s of arrows and felt that out to 50 the mesh was no problem. Had to replace all the windows before the season started. The only problem I saw was that the pins were very difficult to see with even 1 hour of legal light left, easily fixed by adding a site light and/or removing a screen from one or two windows.

The extreme blind I bought at the Calgary Archery Centre has 3 windows per side, removable shoot through mesh on each, window coverings that can be zipped up or held in place by elastics. The elastics made it very easy to keep a window covering in place you could peek around yet you were able to open very quietly. The blind functioned very well and blended in much better than I thought it would since it looks a little shiny. Had Bucks and does (both WT and MD) within 10 yards of several occasions the first night I would pop it up.

THe blind has several features that I liked better than the double bull blinds at about 1/2 to 2/3 of the price. The double bull camo I definitely liked better but the deer didn't mind and there the ones it has to fool.

Never tried expandables as I was shooting Montec G5 broadheads.

I had no trouble at all with the double bull blind. There was no deference with impact out to 30 yards. {Trad bow} and lots of room to shoot with a 62" longbow.Seeing the sight is not a problem, I don't have sights.LOL
