He also had a weight pole (balance pole?) on the front of the bow, do any of you use them?

A 4" group at 50 yds with someone else's bow?

Peep sights and stabilizers will both improve accuracy. The peep will improve your group much more. Going to the extreme, the peeps I like have inserts to change the diameter and/or to use lenses.

Along with balance a stabilizer will help prevent torquing of the bow. If you get to long of a front one you then need one or 2 to the back to balance that one. My regular setup has one to the back on the opposite side from the sight. Many stabilizers also have dampeners built in to prevent vibration. That is not very high on my personal list.
