Default newbie overall diagnostic question

Sorry for the long post...and for the " newbie" question. I have used the search function, but haven' t found anything comprehensive.

I have been hunting for about 7 years...in actuality about 5 because of a couple years off. In reading through this forum, I realize how uneducated I am about the consistency of my set up. (ie matching bow, draw weight, arrows, arrow weight, etc,) Can anyone tell me if there is anything wrong with my set-up? or anything that can be remarkably improved easily? Anything I shouldn' t use?

(In my 5 seasons, I have shot 3 deer (I have also missed as many), but I think that my set up can be made more consistent). I just started warming up for this season and I am currently shooting 3" groups at 20yds. This is usually where I am at at the beginning of the season but when I am in shape I can usually put my arrows in a 2" group at 30 yards.

Arrows: Beman Carbon Flash 65/80 (I think they are about 30" )
4" fletches
Muzzy 125 grain 3 blade broadheads

Bow: Bear Whitetail (about 10 years old) double cam (65-80lbs) currently set at 67lbs
NAP quick tune 1000 arrow rest
Peep sight with 4 pins (20,30,40,50yds)
TRU Ball Grizzly release
Sims stealth Limb-Saver
TRU Spider silencers
Golden Key Tranquilizer Stabilizer

Moleskin on riser and any other parts that my arrow could accidentally hit if it came dislodged from the arrow rest.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and reply.

Jason
