How to unlock the Bullseye achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide
Note courtesy of Curtieson: Pause -> Stats -> Combat -> Headshots - that is useful
Also, this is 10x easier now with the new DLC. There are 100+ NPCs coming at you, most come from a long ways away. I played "The River" maybe 4 or 5 times and got it...the NPCs just line up on the river bank WAITING to be shot!
BONUS: If you can manage to shoot off an enemy's hat without causing them any damage you will unlock a sombrero for you avatar. Try aiming just above the hat and you should get it in just a few tries.
Again thank you to Curtieson for the helpful additions.
Now that I have cleared the DLC on Expert Targeting...my comment sounded just silly as The River was SUCH a pain! So to clarify for others, make sure you go for this with the Auto-Aim assist on.

Use Dead Eye to make headshots easier and buy lots of chewing tobacco if needed. Get 250 headshots and the trophy is yours. The best way to farm kills is by clearing Hideouts.
All single player and multiplayer kills count towards this achievement. You will need to earn kills online or offline, they do not stack towards the same same statistics.
This may come naturally to some players, but not so much to other players. The easiest way to earn headshots is to use your dead eye and aim for the head. This way there is no way you can miss. To use dead eye click in your and the screen will change colour and slow everything down. This will give you time to line up your shots.
