I would dearly love to be able to shoot without sights of any kind, but right now I am using a front sight but no rear peep. I just got back into archery after many years away from it and am using a No-peep to help me get consistency with my form. Once I get to the point where I can know without using the No-peep that my form is correct, I plan to remove the front sight and start practicing without it. That said, I do plan to use a release and stabilizer to help accuracy, balance, and quietness in the future. As you said, archery is a personal thing and everyone has things that make them feel comfortable and confident with their shooting.
