That would depend on where you are shooting the ball from. Even the greatest players make only around 50% of their shots from the outside. If you are talking about shooting from 18 to 20 feet and only half of your shots are going in, that would be about average. If you are talking about shooting from 3 to 5 feet and only half of them are going in, then you would have something to be concerned about. Be patient as you will not become a better shooter overnight. It will take time and a lot of practice. If you practice and practice and keep a good attitude, you can get better.

Is basketball challenging?

Basketball is always challenging, but different challenges for different people, for example, some people find passing hard, or rebounding hard, or shooting hard, and even dribbling hard. But then defence steps in and then you will always find defence hard at first, but you'll get better. So to sum it up, it's hard for different people in different ways.
