I carry a back quiver with 4 broad heads and 5 or 6 rubber blunts,. I hang the quiver from a hook about waist high and will shoot all the blunts before getting down
When a man shoots with a bow it is own vigor of body that drives the arrow,  his own mind controls the missile's flight......His trained muscles and toughened thews have done the work

Yes!
Always at the end of my sit.
It's the most realistic practice you can get!  Your in your stand you have your hunting clothes on safety vest etc..... It's also a,good,way to discover any unforeseen issues. I then stump a little on the way back to my truck.

Always, in fact I have to fight the urge to shoot more practice arrows while on stand....

I do.

At the end of the sit.

I like to check my accuracy.

It's just good practice.

I usually carry one or two field point arrows for this.

Yes, I usually do, too.  I usually pick a target along my exit route so I don't smell up the area any more than usual.
