Walkthrough
The achievement can be earned during the within the 
Shoot targets to demonstrate your marksmanship to the cubs (80) event in Training Grounds in Grothmar Valley.
Target #0 will often not be within range to be shot with the normal lock-on-style and may require you to take leading shots in an attempt to hit it, this will be far from guaranteed and may take more than one run to accomplish but it is doable.
If you're struggling to find many missing targets then try only aiming for targets in sets, such as only aiming for close range targets on your first time around then moving to the furthest targets, also keep in mind that targets you've already hit re-spawn fairly quickly so if your event lasts long enough you will cycle back around and potentially be hitting the same targets.
