I guess after 10+ days, that would be a no 
...
The first shot my son shot had at an elk was with a crossbow a few years back. 40yd shot and I think the bolt cleared the top of the elks back by about 3 feet and was still going up when it went over him. Hell, that bolt may still be in orbit :wave: The bull went about 10yds and stopped which gave me a shot at him. In the excitement of the moment (bull elk called in, kids first opportunity at a bull etc..), I drew back and realized I had put my grouse arrow on... He busted after I let down. Good times... Can laugh about it now.
