Shooting thru window of blind
Folks, anyone have any experience Releasing an arrow thru the screen window of a blind?
Had a nice doe last week at 7 yards, When I drew the bow she could literally hear me drawing, and caught movement and ran off, I was thinking if I had that screen shut she would never had caught that, Has anyone shot thru with a bow? did it change the flight path at all?

Not a good idea.
With a centerfire rifle, maybe...
With an arrow, definitely not. The friction of the broadhead passing through the material ( no matter how sharp) is going to be a huge factor in arrow flight.
"Camo" is perfectly acceptable as a favorite colour.

Never done it as I either do tree stand or still-hunt but I've heard of it being done no problem (especially at such a short range and as long as your bow launches without fishtailing I would assume.) Certainly not with a mechanical broadhead.

I always shoot thru screen. Set up your target bag in front of blind shoot throw screen you’ll see no change
Non mechanicals that is

Sorry, yes...should have stated mechanical broadheads.

I've shot a target to test it out with a fixed blade broadhead
there's little difference in impact at 20 yards 40 yards is a different story
realistically at 6-7 yards your margin for error is basically nothing your better to let them get out a bit further before drawing (learned the lesson the hard way on that)
