I think we all went through that. I would say if you can't consistently put it in the kill zone at 30 don't attempt to at this point...stick with 20 yards. Practice some more and you'll be able to strecth it out if you like, many guys won't shoot over 20 yards!Also don't over analyze what might happen, focus on the shot presented and relish in the fact you are out hunting earlier than gun season.

My first kill was 18 yards... a bit high but caught both lungs, down within 100 yards. Since then I have taken deer out to 35 yards, I have made some great shots and not so great shots. I have even lost an animal, which still gets my goat today.

Remeber have fun and if the shot is not their don't take it, cause 5 minutes from then you may have the perfect shot presented to you.

Good Luck!!!!!!
