if by get it, you mean hit it.. then yes. both shots were taken at point blank.. maybe 8-12 inches from the racoon. the first one made a loud cracking sound and bounced off his skull. the second one (days later) pierced his chest and knocked him back several feet. the bow was at about 80 lbs of force. he just broke the end of the arrow off and bolted out of there. never saw him in my backyard again.
