heres a few parts of an anothers archers thread I found which really kinda hits home to me....
a rather well seasoned archer once said. The problem with many " potentially" great archers is that they become so technologically knowledgeable about archery that they become dysfunctional. their knowledge of archery forms a barrier between them and their target. " my initial thought was " how can you become too knowledgeable about anything and how could it be a barrier ? I thought knowledge was a vehicle to success."
Then a few days after a very poor performance at a local 3 d shoot as i sat on my couch reflecting on my performance the seasoned archers words came back to me and I understood.
There was a time not so very long ago when archery was simple to me, aim hard, and do everything on the last shot as you did on the first, have faith in your equiptment and dont count an arrow out till its hit its target. During that time I didnt even know squat about draw force curves, efficiency, limb tip travel, brace height, cam timing, arrow parralax, sight paradox, KE ,FOC, hysterious, tiller tuning, bare shaft tuning,plumb bob tuning,float testing shafts, 3rd axis, helical/ offset fletching,target panic,or back tension and you know what? I did pretty darn good anyway. At present I do know about all those things and you know what?
Im not near the point I wish I were as an archer. See ,I have let my technical knowledge form a barrier between me and my target. Due to all my reading , learning,and experimenting, I have become an archery Idiot. Sure I can be an asset to many archers when it comes to assisting them in bow set ups and tuning but I want to be a good archer Not a renowned bow mechanic! During the process of my archery education I have probably tried every process and gadget know to man... The result being that I have wasted many prime years believing that if I could perfectly tune a bow, understand bow function, find the ultimate release, and learn the techniques of the most sucessful archers, I would be a contender.

The fact of the matter
is , there is no such thing as the single ultimate tune, bow function is best left up to the engineers to worry about, the ultimate release is the one that works best for the individual,and the only successful technique is the one that works for you. We allow archery to become rocket science! Manufactures bank on us to believe that the next gadget we purchase is the answer to our prayers and archery magazine writers prey on our desires to find a magic solution to keep them in business.
This may sound like bad mouthing the archery industry to some or the technilogical aspect of archery, but my intention in this thread is to share with some of you a revelation Ive had to some who may be in my shoes. The moral of this story is just this: Keep the basics basic, do what works for you, focus on the aiming and repeating the shot process, and forget all the hoopla. All the information and gadgetry in the world will not help you like perfection of a natural form, technique and shot sequence will.
From this point on I plan to focus on what works for me. I have now gone back to my natural grip, not the one recommended by Joe Pro- I have gone back to my favorite release,not the back tension release that some designer/guru claims to be the only right way to release an arrow, and I have gone back to what works for me. I plan on keeping my tinkering to nothing more than elementary tuning....
Keep It Simple Stupid ! Aim Hard and miss small! If archery were rocket science NASA would have a label on your bow.
