How to unlock the Trick Shot achievement in Call of Juarez: Gunslinger - Definitive Guide
I believe it's the third duel and it will be against Old Man Clanton. Follow his pattern, it's far right and then back to the middle.
Beside his right shoulder will be a vulture.
If you have great focus and speed you will have enough time to shoot the bird and Clanton without any issues.
Once you get his pattern down and both the focus and speed at about 90 or so, after a couple of tries you should be able to nab this puppy.
You can restart your check point if you kill the enemy and don't hit a chicken. Also He will pace differently each time. Keep restarting the checkpoint until he stops where there are chickens around his feet. Make sure you are keeping your hand over the gun to increase your speed and pull your gun first dishonorably by pulling your weapon first. Aim the cross hair and fire at a chicken then at your enemy and be sure to dodge.
Follow his steps (I think he always walks to the far right first and then back to the middle)
and be sure to keep your focus and speed high as possible. As soon as you hear the heartbeats you can draw your weapon and first shoot the vulture over his right shoulder and then him. You will kill him dishonourably but still obtain the trophy.
After a couple of tries you should be able kill the vulture and him as I described above.
This trophy can be done either during your regular playthrough or while playing the Duel Challenge, which can be selected from the Main menu.
During your duel with Pat Garrett, there will be some chickens behind your opponent. When you draw your gun, try to shoot one of the chickens and then shoot your opponent. You do not need to win the duel honorably to get the trophy. If you need more information refer to the video below:
You can either get this during the duel at the end of the first mission in Story mode by shooting the chickens besides the enemies feet or even quicker method being, you can get this in the very first duel stage in Duel mode. A dishonorable duel will be easier, so you can quickly shoot the chicken then the enemy. Here is a video to help.
Here is a video with an “honest” passage (pull out the gun second): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4FVl5CHaUo
Chickens walk differently and I decided not to worry. Completed in flashback mode, pulling out the gun first. During the duel, just watch the chickens, and when the heart starts beating, we’ll see Pat’s gun at the chicken we like and shoot (with a concentration of 85% and a speed of about 30+%, you can shoot 2 times), and then quickly move the gun to Pat and killing the ego.
PS. Completed on medium difficulty.
