I already dialed in my mouse sensitivity, so that's not the issue.
Every time I start playing I first target practice in training mode.
I just dont seem to be getting any kills. I feel like I might be wasting my time on something simply outside of my skill set.
Do you think that this game might not be attainable for certain people? Am I just wasting my time?

Nah don't quit. Just remember one simple thing. Kills.Don't.Matter.

I mean yeah it's fun to get kills but in the overall sense of the game they are meaningless. The game was designed around squadbased tactical play. The bulk of your EXP will come from Time Survived, the rest of your EXP will come from squad based play such as revives, respawns and damage done. Kills will only net you +50 EXP per kill so even if you get 10 kills you're only getting 500EXP for it and you can get more than that by just surviving or respawning your allies.

If you're having trouble getting kills then just don't worry about getting kills. Put shots on people and let your squad get the finish, even if you have one squad mate that ends up with 15 kills while you have 1k-2k damage dealt it doesn't matter, just putting shots on them helped your squad out massively.

Kills do matter. You still need to be able to kill the last guy if you want to win. But kills are definitely not the only attraction in this game. And kill count most definitely doesn't give more fun. The most memorable wins I ever had in my 2k hours of PubG were 4 kills solo squad win and a 0 kills solo win (yeah finally managed to do that, once XD). I'm definitely gonna do a 0 (or at least 1) kills win in Apex too, when they add a solo mode.

Also, the start of learning is always the most fun, at least for me. Going from 0.01 k/d to 0.5 k/d may take half a year, but it will still be less than going from 2 k/d to 3 k/d. You progress much faster at the start. Enjoy the fast progress while it lasts 😉. You don't need to compare yourself to others to have satisfaction, compare to yourself, a month, a year ago - see the progress you've made and you'll feel goood (it definitely helps if you have some replays from back before - you can laugh at how bad you were back then; if you keep your proudest moments on record, you'll one day see that you can do those things 'on demand' and those are just daily business to you).

Also, people who get their first BR win (in solo mode, squad wins don't matter, since you can get carried) after 600+ hours seem to be MUCH more exhilarated about it than ppl who got it on their 10th game. The more work you put in, the sweeter the results.
