Default Practicing at different distances

I started bow hunting 7 months ago and practicing at 15 and 20 yards with 20 yards being the longest. I was told that I should practice out to 40 yards even though I would never shoot a deer at that distance. Yesterday afternoon I moved out to 30 yards and got my sight adjusted and practiced. At first my shots were pretty spread out but after a short time they began to group tighter and tighter. After shooting 30 yards I moved up to 20 yards and shot a few arrows and was amazed the target seemed as big as a wash tub and I hit next to the center each time. Do you think I should also move out to 40 yards and practice?
