Bolting on the goodies may yield better results and so seem like a solution but will not make a better archer.

Stick to improving what is potentially the largest stabiliser in the system (the archer) and then add the goodies.

Any rushing at this stage will be like eating a microwave meal in a top restaurant.


No, I totally disagree. I cannot think why any decent archer would remove something from their bow either, the bow's reaction to everything is as important to the shot as your form, and should not be played with lightly. Furthermore, CONFIDENCE will make a better archer, although many coaches (and especially armchair coaches) tend to disagree.
