Hello,
Pretty amateur archer here -- I have a bit of a weird setup with a traditional recurve + an archery release. My question is, assuming the d-loop and release are reasonably well made, is it unadvisable to pull back the bow without an arrow on the string because it's "possible" the release or d-loop could fail and the bow could dry fire, or is it reasonable to assume that it will work fine. I'm asking because sometimes to test stuff out, etc. I want to just be in the house, but I don't want to pull back an arrow inside my home.
Thanks!
