What rabbit holes are people going down this offseason? I’m curious what guy/gals are doing to improve and any lessons learned?

Nothing too major for me this year. I’m sticking with the same arrow setup, and last year I spent a lot of time with the Garmin chronograph. What I am doing this offseason, though, is messing with different sight configurations (eg. less pins, 3 or 4, and smaller pins for longer yardages), tearing down my 5year old RevoltX down to the limbs and cleaning everything up, and trying different peeps for giggles.
 
While I’m confined to the basement I have tried out a new grip (side plates with tape) as well as refined my actual grip (how I hold the bow). I’ve also tinkered with some stabilizer setup angles.

Have also done some small things like add some grip tape to my release and bought a bigger knob for it (thumb release) which I really like.

Hope to hit the ground running once it warms up a bit and I can shoot outside more regularly.
 
I feel ya about looking forward to shooting outside more often soon. Shooting in the garage in my scenario and papertuning a ton gets old when that’s all you have time for…
 
Targets are getting patched. I've got a Delta McKenzie buck out there that I just cant bring myself to throw away, a can of spray foam does wonders! I went back to the Scott "Solus" index finger release due to a pulled something in my forearm that the Stan Onnex "C" seems to irritate?

Aside of that the ole Hoyt is still getting more attention than the wife!
 
Really forcing myself to be diligent on pulling through the shot with no additional pressure applies to the release to command the shot
 
I'm jumping down the stabilizer rabbit hole. I used to just run a simple 6" bee stinger in the front, but now I've ordered a new front bar and a mount for a rear for the 6", testing to follow. Also picking up a new broadhead target and trying to get out and shoot some 3D. Built some new arrows, testing new broadheads as well.
