For a trained Jedi… sure. Look how Luke struggled with the remote with the blast shield down.

Eh. After being hit with it like once he was able to hit 3 bolts in a row.

Even with his inate force powers and first hand instruction from a Jedi it was a struggle to get a couple blocks in. Now compare that to seeing see Chirrut basically take out a squadron of stormtroopers on his own with nothing but a stick and then we also see him shoot down a TIE Fighter from the ground with one shot. Just seemed a little over the top to me.

I really don’t know Chirrut’s background but if he self trained himself for a decade or so that level of Force based physical augmentation is within reason. Now if he were using Force Speed like Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in TPM, doing giant force leaps like ROTS Anakin or literally ripping people to shreds like Darth Plagueis then I’d understand where you’re coming from.
