Doublegun, welcome back from the dark side. As to accuracy out to 30 yds, I believe you can do that by fall, IF you practice a LOT. I'd say probably 5 to 7 days a week and twice a day. Your sessions shouldn't be too long, 20-30 arrows and 30 may be pushing it, but you'll need lots of sessions. You are developing hand-eye coordination and muscle memory and that only happens with practice. Remember too, that that the hand-eye and muscle memory will also develop with bad practice, so be sure to practice good form and focus (I mean FOCUS) for each shot. If you just shoot arrows you'll plateau early and not at the accuracy level you desire. Now as to hunting out to 30 yds, I wouldn't consider it even if I could hit a quarter 10 out 10 at 30 yds. There is too much time for an animal to move before the arrow gets there, changing a kill shot to a gut shot. Just not worth it. I know this is not you, but for that want to kill at long range, get a gun! The whole idea in trad hunting is to get close. That being said, I have killed a rabbit at in excess of 30 yds, but heck, you can just about scare a rabbit to death. Point here is, if you hit a rabbit anywhere you're likely to kill it. You only have a small area on a deer where you're likely to kill it. So, in a nutshell, practice hard or better yet practice well, get accurate out to 30 and hunt to 20 and you'll do fine and have a great time.
