What seems to happen is that the point can hit the wire, pushing the arrow off to the side a small bit. I have seen a couple of tiny marks on my shafts that may have been contact with the wire, but nothing to be concerned about. I had read about someone trying the plastic stuff and the problem that they had was that it stretched too much and was difficult to keep in the proper shape over time. Vince,

One question, any trouble with your arrows getting all scratched from the chicken wire? Could plastic garden deer blocker mesh be as good an option? Plan looks great thanks!

There was only one type I could find locally, galvanized with 1" measurement across the flats. If I had a choice, I would go for the larger mesh size if I could find it because every time you hit the wire, it will deflect your arrow a bit. Frank,

Did you use stainless steel or galvenized wire? 2.Which size of mesh is best for the job? 1"? 1.5"? 2"? Thank you! Frank L. Hello Micheal,

I’ve got some questions about the chicken wire,
1.What are they made of? Did you use stainless steel or galvenized wire?
2.Which size of mesh is best for the job? 1″? 1.5″? 2″?

Thank you!

Frank L.
