It doesn't take loads of extra "shit" on a bow to make a good shooter...but some accesories can help a person become better at putting the shot together correctly and maximizing their potential.
All of the Oly stuff on a FITA bow is used to "enhance" the archer's style...how a lot of that relates to use in the field is sometimes a different matter. Incorrect use or poor adjustment can make these items more detrimental than beneficial..but if used correctly and properly set up, it can help an archer overcome form faults, mental blockages or instill a confidence-boosting attitude towards a good shot.
IMO, it's up to every person as to what they feel is beneficial to put on their bow or leave off. Clickers,plungers,stabilizers,bow slings,sights,etc. can all hurt or help an archer...depending in how much confidence the person has in it's ability to maximize their accuracy.
For example, a plunger works very well with a clicker,especially when fine tuning the arrow/bow combo and an archer's draw puts the arrow selection "uncertain"..a slighty stiff/weak shaft at the point of "CLICK" (full draw)can be compensated for by adjustments of the plunger.But in the same breath, it can also cause multitudes of problems if it is used or adjusted improperly,or comes out of adjustment at the inappropriate time.Because of both poor instruction and improper use, I denounced plungers and clickers a long time ago..their use caused me more problems than correcting any problems..no longer acceptable for ME...but many people use them exceptionally well and have them properly adjusted. I have since learned both aspects, but the mental "scars" are still there and therefore I don't use them...STUBBORN
It basically comes down to what each archer deems as "acceptable" equipment for them to use...flawless form would mean that nothing else would be required to compensate for any "weaknesses"..not too many of us fit in that category ( OK, maybe Yohon and Hank and a few others here)...but OOhhh, how nice it would be to have "IT" every day and alll the time..
