I have a bag target that was blessed by the Pope. It's very "holy" now. In the middle of the target where there is a very deep hole, I place a large pine cone in that spot. I practice at 5, 10, 15 and 20 yards. That pine cone is my "pick a spot" and I can really scare the hell out of that pine cone at 20 yards with both of my low poundage recurves.

Practice is what makes a bowhunter a good and confident shooter whether it's with a 35# trad bow or whether it's with a 65# trad bow and every poundage inbetween.

I'd say 95% of the kids I see bowhunting; from 13 years old and up, they're bowhunting with compound bows, not trad bows. And the kids shooting those compound bows are very good at 20 yards and under due to mounted sights, peep sights, release aids and high letoff percentage. The lowest poundage I've seen them shoot is with a 35# compound. Put it this way; at 20 yards and under, I wouldn't want to be a deer that's standing broadside still to these kids. If I were a deer and did that, I'd be hanging from a meat pole.
