No, single shot. He was bowhunting on the edge of the Edwards Plateau, got of a tripod stand to take a leak. Standing on the edge of a wash and here comes the buck up the wash. Got a rock ready and split his head but good. Not a legal "means" of taking game in Texas though, but his recurve was up in on tripod.

It helps if you just throw downhill also....better velocity, but you have to aim a bit low...
