I experienced this a few days ago when a doe was behind me and to my right. I could feel the harness against my arm as I stood turned to the right and knew I wouldn't be able to draw........I just grabbed the prusic knot and slid it down the rope to put slack in the strap and drew with no problem. She never gave me a shot but it was really no big deal.............VERY small price to pay for safety..........the only shot it comes into play on is far right and back.
