Actually, lot's of shooters have dry fired their compounds when the arrow is inserted past the ADF but not all the way back to string.
In most cases it was disastrous to their bow. Another malady is casued when the string is pulled up to the ADF but not all the way back to the pawls (hooks) causing them to activate but not capture the string. It results in a "hunt-over" for folks who don't know what to do to fix it.
With or without ADF, the most useful singular device to prevent a dry fire is an (engaged) brain.
