At 20-30 ft I second the idea of a sling shot. Easy to get proficient with at those ranges and very quiet. I also second the question of WHY? If a conventional firearm isn't an option then you're probably trying to take squirrel where you're not allowed to shoot them (at least with a firearm). In any case go with a sling shot. Even a low priced sling shot will easily take squirrel at that distance. You just need to practice so you can hit your target.
