I have my Phoenix set up without them, but it IS louder! Can't really see a huge reduction in recoil, but then I've been hunting with Excaliburs for so long I don't notice the noise & recoil anyway.also i see some with disapater bars,is this a must for recoil??
My personal reason for taking the DBs off was so I don't have to worry about removing the pads when I unstring it. In the summer I usually unstring between shooting sessions.

Anyone actually shot a broadhead through the shoot throughable window screens on one of these Ameristep ground blinds and hit their intented target?
I could see a heavy turkey load from a shotgun blasting through ok and still have enough accuracy due to pellet spread to take a turkey. But a broadhead through a screen, I doubt it would hit even close to the point of aim and worst at longer ranges.
I suspect windows would have to be zipped open to get accurate shot placement. I'm interested in getting one of these ameristep ground blinds and have'nt made a desision yet on whether get the hub style or the spring open type.
Any users of these blinds your input would be appreciated as I'm tired of getting rained on.

i bought the cabela's 4 season lighting set blind....the mesh windows are shoot through also but i don't think i'll be taken the chance....the 4 corners are velcro along with the middle of each corner so after i set up i'll just undo a corner of a few windows to shoot through before game appears.............bob

I have shot through the mesh with zero affect on the arrow and killed 3 deer this season using the doghousegreenjoytj wrote:Anyone actually shot a broadhead through the shoot throughable window screens on one of these Ameristep ground blinds and hit their intented target?

I have both styles of blind.
The hub style I have is much larger than the pop up's
They each have their advantages and dis.

I shot my first deer (a doe) through the mesh on my Ameristep Doghouse blind a couple weeks ago using a Wac'Em Exit 4-blade broadhead and it didn't seem to cause any deflection. She was closer than I thought, so the hit was a bit high, but still a good double lung hit and I recovered her easily.Anyone actually shot a broadhead through the shoot throughable window screens on one of these Ameristep ground blinds and hit their intented target?
