This is one of those things that seasoned archery hunters do automatically. but it's really easy to get into the hunt stage and not take time to do it.
i too keep a judo point arrow in my quiver and shoot a few arrows each day at minimum.
i think the most comman boo-boo i see archers make is not practicing in the same clothes they wear to hunt in.
My hunting party has shifted from 5 hard core seasoned archery hunters to a couple old men and a batch of upcoming youngsters. most of these young men are using high tech equipment and are at various stages in the evolution a hunter goes though.
The most common oops i see is string clearance wearing heavy clothing or baggy shirt sleeves.
One of my favorite, and most important things i keep handy in my pack, on the dash of my truck, and in my quiver, is Knee high nylon stockings.... or better yet the knee high support hose, the older gals wear..... You just cut the toes out of these things and roll them up your bow arm right over your rain gear, coat, or even baggy sleeves on your camo shirts clear to your arm pit if necessary.
I still get strange looks from guys from time to time, but I've got the young men in camp wearing them now after blowing a few shots.
Warning! Don't get caught rooting through your wife's stocking drawer the night before you go hunting.... you are much better off asking her for some with runs in them, or just go buy your own....
That's a fun shopping trip walking into the women's underwear department in full dress camo.
