You should carry arrows in the nocked position only when you are slowly approaching your target or game. This allows for a quicker, more efficient shot opportunity if it arises. However, it is crucial never to nock an arrow or carry it in this position when there is someone in front of you or when moving around casually, as an arrow can cause serious injury if accidentally released. Carrying arrows nocked is primarily a safety measure for when you are close to or ready to shoot your target, helping to avoid accidents by keeping the arrow un-nocked until that moment. It is also advised to avoid nocking or drawing a bow if anyone is in the line of fire or near the target path.
