Mike S - The shot out the bow window should not be more than 30 yards - very doable with 6" 357. I do keep both ear plugs and muffs in the blind. Am thinking the best solution is to cut a slit or little opening in the screen - enough to get the muzzle outside, very slowly!

Having been busted several times by deer seeing even the slighest movement (or sound or smell) in my primary hunting blind, I decided to go ahead and locate some shoot-through screen for the large "archery" window on the west end. The end of the season is approaching and I have not taken a shot on a deer at all this season. There are 3 more windows overlooking a wheat field, that, if opened, will cause me to be "sillouetted" even worse through the big bow window. Therefore, I plan to break down and cover it with some camo fabric shoot-through screen - which I detest - it disrupts the view. Anyhoo, in using the Googlefoo to learn more about the possible impact on a bullet trajectory if shooting through the screen with a rifle or .357 pistol, I got into a hunting forum where one guy said. "Oh yes, it works. I set my blind on fire. But I got the deer!"
