Keeping my crossbow cocked

Is it ok to keep it cocked for a few days or should I shot with a field tip at the end of the day. New Exocet and I do not want to cause any damage. Thanks

Question on bolts

The local hardware store has Gold Tip Lazer-2 Graphite bolts for $48 a dozen. These have aluminum flat nocts and front insert with 5 inch vanes and the shaft is 20" long. Will this be a good bolt for my new Exocet 200. Thanks all
