As ever that's an excellent idea, Geoff.
I have to say I found some of Rick McKinney's advice about the clicker pretty helpful (as you would, I guess). One of the points he makes is about "floating" the head, as opposed to getting too much tension into the neck muscles. At the early beginner stage we tend to fix on the concept of anchor as something absolutely immoveable, whereas Mr McK talks about something much more relaxed I think. Can be a hard habit to break too. I certainly pull through much more cleanly if I avoid too much neck tension (and it hurts a lot less!)
Another thing he talks about is not so much equal push/pull, but directing your concentration to the bit you find hardest - so you might be concentrating on the bow arm, or the back depending on your form issues? Not sure I've got this quite right but it makes interesting reading.
And.... personally the open sight ring helps as I tend to over-aim otherwise.
