I had no idea what I was getting into the first time I went to a shoot alone - I made the mistake of wearing flip flops...

Bug spray or a ThermaCell is a good plan.
At least 6 matching arrows. A hip quiver can be handy, but isn't necessary. Binoculars can also be helpful as those elusive center rings are sometimes not exactly where you expect them to be.

Be hyper-vigilant about making sure you have an arrow loaded before you shoot. That might sound like I'm stating the obvious, but the environment of a 3D shoot with people chatting, good fun and camaraderie can be distracting and, well, we got the name "Team DryFire" for a reason.

Most important of all, bring a sense of humour and be prepared to laugh at some of the situations you'll likely find yourself in.
Some fun trying to pull arrows:

and a little silliness on video... it was tough to find one that I could post publicly (we get a little too silly sometimes!

Here's Rob's 12 on a mosquito and TPM's robinhood on one of my favourite arrows:
