Techne, Phronesis, and Archery

Working through Gadamer's Truth and Method today, specifically his account of techne and phronesis in Aristotle (Ethics Bk 6).  It occurs to me that the differences within the archery community are often differences between those  who see archery as a techne and those who see it in terms of phronesis.  That is, some archers are after a product, a high score.  The means for achieving that score are largely separable from the score itself.  So, any modification in equipment is open for consideration in order to achieve accuracy and consistency.  Others are after a certain experience or the execution of certain action performed well.  Almost everything about the experience may be deemed crucial to performing the action well, so that the means and the end are inseparable.  Archers of this school will tend to be conservative in the equipment choices and resistant to change, because what is open for negotiation is much smaller.  It seems to me that both "traditional archers" and Japanese kyudo archery fall into this second camp.
