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.
NO rangefinder - obviously, as the challenge lies in estimating the distance correctly. The distance to the target is never discussed until all have finished shooting. If you have arrow lube, bring it - if not, another shooter in your group might be willing to share. 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:
Rob/Xbowkidd checking FOC (and being a good sport):
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:
