Made my first shot through the mesh last season. I was shooting Wac'Em Exits (4 replaceable fixed blade head) and a doe came in on the wrong side of the blind. I had the little "shooting port" with the mesh over it open, and didn't even think about the mesh. The shot went exactly where it was supposed to! She was closer than I thought, so it hit a little high, but still a good double lung hit and an easy recovery.

(she was closer than I thought because I was using a new sight-in and ranging method last year. I sighted in with the main crosshair dead on at 25 yards so a center of the kill zone" hold will put the arrow through the heart/lung area anywhere out to 30 yards. I knew she was inside 30 yards, but she was angling toward the blind as she walked and was more like 15 yards when I shot. The hit was a couple inches high, but still a quickly fatal hit. With my sight-in and hold the arrow was exactly where it should have been, even shooting through the mesh.)
