Two years ago I started cutting water bottles and such, and pool noodles. Last Summer I upgraded to rolled newspaper rolls. This year I upgraded to wood cored newspaper rolls, though it terrified me to try my DH blades on these. All went like a charm.
Like many have said, you start with basics, then upgrade on targets as you improve.
Need to fix myself a rope to try free hanging paper sheets, read it was hard.

Just gotta try to balance the movement of keeping my arms straight. Do u pull in your left arm or keep it straight?

I try to pull for better draw cuts on newspaper rolls, but you don't need that to cut plastic bottles and carboard jugs. Just practice your alignment first on easy target, improve your technique once you have the basics.
I'm in no way an expert, but I started where you are now.
