If I'm in the bow shop.....and I'm looking at bows......they have one of those "no fire" release aids that we use without an arrow all the time. It can not fire, unless the buckle were to break or come undone.
Key here is....THEY tied the D-loops. THEY are responsible.
At home.....MY bows.....I always nock an arrow.
X2, only two proshops I've been to had the no fire release aids. I
used to, in my younger years, draw back without an arrow nocked. I no longer do.
