Exactly!! Practise, practise, practise.
The first time I had a go at pointing a scope it was to find the moon, that great big thing - do you think I could find that with the scope? Nope.
Keep trying.
If its any consolation even I have trouble from time to time after 20 years of swinging a dob around the sky, and that's from knowing all the tricks of the trade as well as using a telrad and all the mod cons.
If you can, line up the finder during daylight the first time, that should make it much easier, as a tree or light pole wont be trying to move out of view while the earth keeps turning!
