Yeah, most certainly...

Not sure of your shooting situation, because you didn't mention it, but practice lifting your crossbow and aiming it.

One early evening I made a ground blind for my dad who was using a crossbow. Within 30 minutes he had a mixture of 7 does and bucks headed up the trail he was watching. I know because I was 80 yards back watching from my climbing treestand.

Long story short, while lifting his crossbow to shoot, the arrow sticking out the front caught a branch, made a noise and the deer took off. The end. LOL!

Just make sure it doesn't happen to you!
