Default Do I need more Knockdown Power?

I hestitate to post this on a public forum but I want to learn from it.Shot a doe last night at I believe about 70 yards.She fell over when I shot andI thought it was all over. About 5 seconds later she gets up and runs off. I am not sure where I hit but I was aiming for the shoulder and now sure wish I would have aimed for the vitals.

Shouldn't you be able to take them down in the shoulder just like with a shotgun slug that I have hunted with in the past?I am shooting a Knight Wolverine with 80 grains 777 and a 240 grain TC XTP Sabot. Should I up the powder?
