What About Hand Grenades? is a gameplay achievement and a trophy in Red Dead Redemption.
Description
"Get a ringer in a game of horseshoes."
Tips and Tricks
The goal of this achievement is to strike the stake directly with the horseshoe. This is not extremely difficult, but likely requires luck and/or practice to achieve. A ringer is when the horseshoe hits the stake or lands so that it lays like a ring around the stake afterwords.
Aim the stake in the gap right between Marston's middle and ring fingers when zoomed in, this is a good way to align the throw. A full and steady swing, releasing exactly when the power meter hits the middle mark, or a little before, will bring the horseshoe very close. Luck is a factor in this achievement and players are advised to repeatedly attempt this method.
It is far easier to get a Ringer at Rathskeller Fork than it is at MacFarlane's Ranch because the horseshoe pits are closer together.
