| I wanna say (and I could be completely wrong) that 'shoot thru' screens on a blind are designed for rifle shots. I would think that even the minimal pressure of passing through a blind screen could set off the mechanical limbs of broadhead. Given that even a twig can deflect the trajectory of a bullet, I would...welll, I just wouldn't shoot through a screen of any sort with a bow. That is my opinion of course, and there are probably lots of hunters out there who have had great success with "shoot thru screens".
Personally, when I was bow hunting, I taped over the velcro on the screens, and attached a small plastic hook so I could silently pull the screen up and hang it above the window. As long as you make sure of your back ground lighting and not having a black shadow moving inside the blind, the deer should never see you. | | | |

| | Shoot thru windows were designed for use with fixed-blade broadheads. Some rear deploying mechanicals will work relatively well also. | |

| | I wouldn't suggest it, I have shot through screen with fixed blade but I would imagine that any mechanical would deploy | | | |
