I really like the idea of having one “bad arrow” to shoot into the dirt at the end of each sit to see where I’m at and just practice shooting cold.
Forget doing that at your chosen stand location. No farting around, as the less time you spend there the better. Quiet in, quiet out. Control your scent. Control your impact in the area.
Take your practice shots where you normally practice, not where you have set an ambush.
