How do YOU hunt a pop up blind?

4. And leave the window wide open from the day I set it up in August until the day I take it down in February.

I didn't like the horizontal window especially because I'm shooting downhill a bit and couldn't comfortably get high enough to angle down through the window.

I stapled the front wall to a frame I made and installed a couple deer view windows. I really like it now. I leave the windows closed because they open silently now.

depends on the skeeters here. I like it open but thermocell is necessary if open here.

#3....although I prefer hunting out of my tripods over the ground blind, sometimes a sketchy wind forces me to the pop up. I have a rhino and love it.

#4 with my current blind. I shoot mechanical heads so I don't have the option of shooting through mesh. However when I had a Primos double bull I only pulled the mesh down far enough to clear my arrow.

I've heard some discouraging accounts of shooting through the mesh. I've heard it causes the arrow to go high. I put several wooden clothes pins in each of my pop ups and use them to pin up the curtain or mesh while leaving shooting windows open in each direction. I usually black out behind me and try to establish shooting lanes to my right, left, and front.

#4 I know many have been successful shooting through the mesh, but I still can't get myself to do it and take all the shooting windows mesh off.

i cut a small hole

[Jamesl]

I only open one, maybe two windows. I cut a hole in the mesh to shoot out of.

Reluctantly. My least favorite way to hunt, but sometimes it's a necessity.

[panhandlehunter]

I only open one window, remove the mesh. I leave that window open from the moment I set it up.

[Texas89]

I have 3 windows open on just the front and I only have them open half of possible. Brush it in and lose the mesh

[Muddy Bud]

If you shoot through mesh, make sure your bow has been paper tuned with the broad head your using. I learned a valuable lesson at first point and missed I 150 class buck this year cause of it.

I shoot right thru the Double Bull mesh with Rage Extreme's. I have never had a problem. The Extreme's have a blade on the tip and goes right thru the mesh. I have been shooting thru mesh for 10'years in south Texas and as long as your bow is tuned and keep shots under 30 I have had no problems. Wear all black shirts with black gloves and black face mask and you can get away with a lot of movement in the blind.
