Ignore the snarky comments on your target. You are doing just fine. Keep practicing, try different grips (hold higher, lower, tighter, looser) and especially different trigger pulls (find the o'clock chart that helps diagnose misses by what most likely caused it), try shooting at various distances, and have fun. Let's be realistic - unless you're a hunter, cop, soldier, or criminal, shooting is simply for fun. Don't let anyone bum you out about it.
