Arrow deflection through window screen

[nathank]

Some of yall read my post last weekend about missing a doe. First I want to say thank you for all the encouragement and positive advice!! Was very busy all week and was unable to shoot my bow to check for problems in my mechanics or my bow. Due to the most awesome and needed rains this morning I did not hunt. What I did do however is go and shoot. I was dead on no matter what I was aiming at shooting "field or broad head" I then built a "window" out of some scrap lumber I have from my current rifle stand build and put a left over piece of the screen I had on it. The result blew my mind!!! I shot a full foot over the top of my target and thankfully hit the fence behind it. I checked the hole in the screen afterwards and it is perfect. No offset no tears no nothing. Anybody else ever ran into this before??

I've killed dozens of animals out of shoot through netting. What broad head?Make sure your bow is tuned

expendables or fixed blade

Is the mesh stretched tight or do you have it kinda loose ?

Nathan, I've shot several deer and hog while shooting through mess and have had no problems. Now all of my shots were under 20 yards and from the ground, but no problems. All my kills was with muzzy 100gr 3-blades. If you are shooting mechanicals they may be opening when they hit the screen and then flying off course.

No answer unless your using mech broadheads.

I read your post but if the BH is not a mech then you have a tuning issue. Your shaft is Porpoising...

I have killed over a hundred deer shooting mechanicals thru mesh,my guess is bow isn't tuned

Fixes Muzzy 125 grain. I have shot many deer myself through mesh.... I was asking if anybody has had this issue before..? I agree that the issue is "probably" my tune on my bow but, the hole in the screen is a perfect hole. Shot is 20 yards with the screen about 8 inches away.

FYI you need to make sure your bow is tuned and also your arrows with your broadheads.
