Shooting for the first time

Now remember thats technically a pistol so hold the grip with two hands and extend it as far from your body as possible. Most ranges hate when you waste time so make sure you shoot as fast as possible.

Solid shooting at that range. You're likely zeroed at 50 yards, which would explain the low point of impact. The bullets are still rising when they hit.

Change your point of aim a little so you know where they'll hit at that distance.

Best way to get better is to practice often.

Actually, it was the renages gun, so i have no idea what the zero point was. But there was a guy who had some experience, he said that i wasn't holding the gun properly with my left hand

Take advice on the range with a grain of salt unless it deals with safety. Watch some videos of people who are clearly good at shooting. Try to mimic their posture and way of holding the weapon. If it works for you, then it works.

I have a nephew whose manner of holding a rifle makes my skin crawl. But he's a far better shot than I am at distances as far as 300 yards. So, regardless of how I feel about the way the kid holds a rifle, he hits what he is aiming at, so who the hell am I to coach that kid?

Not bad at all. You could be really good at this with enough practice.
