I practice out to 60 yards, but I'm not consistent.
"Pretty good" shootingtime after time at 40 yards (fairly consistent 4'' or less groups any day).
At 30 yards even the bad shots are still good, the bad shots are still inside a 4'' group.

I would consider a 30 yard shot on a "calm" deer.
I've never actually taken a shot past 22 yards.
Targets don't move, deer do.
