You want a solid surface to start with. I would suggest the docks. You may want to be higher than your target. The trick is to shoot the solid ground in front of your target so that it ricochets up into the target. It seems to be easier if they are running straight at you.

Great, thanks very much. I will try it tomorrow and write here the result of your advice.

First of all, save your game before you take the shot. That way you can quickly reload it and try again if something goes wrong.

As Astyanyx pointed out, the first step to getting a ricochet is a solid surface. You'll need concrete, cobblestone or asphalt. Grass and earth aren't solid enough to produce a ricochet - the bullet will just bury itself and go nowhere.

Bullets rebound at exactly the same angle that they strike at. For example example, if you fire a bullet downwards at a 45 degree angle, it'll ricochet along a 45 degree upward angle. I recommend you play around with this at the shooting range - you'll realise that ricochets are actually quite predictable and follow a logical trajectory.

As a general rule of thumb, any angle more acute than 45 degrees won't ricochet. And that you should aim about halfway between yourself and the target - if the target is 10 metres away, shoot the ground 5 metres in front of them. And finally - the closer you are, the easier this will be, as you'll have to shoot at a steeper angle and thus your bullet will strike higher up their body.

EDIT: spelling error
