Something else you may not think of until you need it, that is if you use one, is to pack a spare release aid. And also if you use one, a spare loop if you use a tied on loop to your string. As far as the release goes, I use a wrist strap type and after each practice I try, and I do mean try, to always wrap the release onto my one of my bow limbs so it's not forgotten but there are brain fart moments when I toss it on my work bench. Especially if I am having to refletch some arrows after practice. You know them days, proud of yourself for having exceptional group shooting but mad at yourself for having exceptional grouping and having to refletch and replacing busted nochs. Or having to trash that arrow because of a busted end. But I always keep a spare identical release aid in my day pack so if, and when, I do have that brain fart moment, it hasn't costed me a morning or afternoon hunt.
