I have the most trouble with Sniper Duel and On a Rail. I hate laying all the bridges, redstone torches and rails only to find out I was short by about 10 after riding the distance.
Maybe it's mods I'm using, but I can't even SEE a mob 50 meters away on farthest view.
Currently, the achievement Sniper Duel is virtually impossible to get. Under normal circumstances, an arrow will not travel 50 meters. You need to be aiming at a specific angle upwards to get it. And that means that you can't be looking at the skeleton when you fire the arrow.
Ugh.
Definitely have to be "On a Rail", 1000 blocks of railroad track is simply ludicrous. The rest of the achievements are a park in the walk, I usually just trap a skelly and count 50 blocks away for Sniper Duel.

Iron isn't that hard to obtain, thank god, otherwise On a Rail would be insanely hard. But it still does require 378 pieces of iron to make 1000 pieces of track to obtain the achievement, which is yikes. Aka, 1000 Tracks / 16 per craft = 62.5 crafts rounded up to 63, 63 crafts x 6 iron per craft is 378 pieces of iron.

Actually, i've got it ONCE in survival.
The trick it to aim about 3/4 of an inch upward at the skeleton when you are 10 meters taller than it. you will have to do it quickly, or the skeleton might despawn. Finally, pull the bow back all the way.
Anyways, the Acheivements i have trouble with are (in increasing difficulty):
Into Fire: Can never find a fortress
Overkill: You need to kill tons of mobs, and you will fail often to get the right enchantment.
When Pigs Fly: Hard to find a saddle AND get the pig to hit the ground.
On a rail: You need TONS of resources if not in SMP.
Sniper Duel: Skeleton despawn too quick
Me punching a wood <- takes to long
cus its so hard to gets
So... anyway...

The rest of them aren't all that hard to get.
Ugh.
On a Rail takes way too long, and too many items.
The End is too hard to kill the Ender Dragon.
