For me all the techno stuff has made me better. Not because of "it" because it has got me shooting more. I have practiced more this past spring and summer then I ever have. Some of that is because of wanting to keep trying new "cool" toys. I have increase my range to over 50 yards at targets but will keep hunting shots to no more then 30. In past years I could not go much over 30 at targets and 20 at deer. So to me the techno stuff itself was not the answer but playing with it made me better.
