Some good ideas here - but I'd say it's most important to get bigger targets. 2" at 20 yards is too tight.
Accuracy will come over time. You can't rush it. It's a muscle control thing - and the body has to grow into that. A kid can want it all he wants, but they can't mentally learn your way around it. Their muscles have to be capable of being controlled in a way to produce the results.
Much better to let his body get used to it while shooting at a more reasonably sized target.
If his level of control allows him to be pretty good hitting a 2 foot circle, then so be it.
Over the weeks/months slowly reduce the size of the targets. When he's regularly hitting one size with no trouble, that's when you can shrink it a little.
A side benefit to doing it this way is that it'll keep his confidence up too to be constantly improving.
But it's more than confidence building, it will slowly force the muscles to develop and be controlled at increasingly more precise levels.
Just like pitching. You first learn to throw. Then you learn to throw at a wall. Then you learn to throw to a person. Then you learn to throw to a glove. What makes it possible is the constant improvement of the muscles that allow for more and more precision.
