Title: Shoot through fabric
Post by: DD8 on April 02, 2011, 11:01:01 AM: Anyone use this stuff with any affects? I'm thinkin about making a blind for Elk hunting and was gonna use this stuff but if it's not worth it........

Make sure to shoot a couple dozen shots through it to test the impact effects before hunting out of it though. My blind windows end up sending my arrow about 3" low at 40 yards consistently. As long as you know what it will do and it is consistent, then you'll be fine. Plus, that would make a nice portable blind; it'd weigh almost nothing. What are you planning for a frame to stretch it over?

Actually the land I'm hunting on has a small ramshackle A frame on it and the elk walk past it so thoughts were to make this my blind. Another interesting note, in the pst couple days i've spotted brand new rubs. Any ideas on what those could b from. There was a herd of elk on the property with spikes and two points. I thought the elk would have shed their racks by now and would be growing new ones. There are also blacktail around but one of the rubs seems too tall.
