20yds will seem impossible until you start shooting at 20yds.... I've moved my baseline back to 20yds and that is where I do 95% of my shooting when I'm just out keeping my form sharp....

I'd say pie plate is a reasonable goal over the next few months for you.... The trick is getting your form down to where you can do it shot it, shot out...... 20yds is no chip shot... I've killed 30 deer with a bow and onlya handful have been over 15yds..... So don't fret, even with 15yd accuracy, you can be a very successful hunter.....

I believe you must continue to push yourself to get better..... Last fall my base line practice distance was 15yds...... I shot great at 15, but at 20 I really struggled.... Well, by moving back I've gotten much better at that distance.... I plan on moving my baseline to 25yds over the next month or so.... Keep pushing yourself!!
