I have been hunting skeletons with a bow all night from far off, some defiantly over 50 blocks away; however, the achievement will not unlock.

I have literally measured 60 blocks away from a skeleton, shot 5ish skeletons in a row, and I still don't get the achievement. I have attached some screenshots of my method to measure away from the target(s, 5 of them in a row). I switched back into survival to make doubly sure that I could obtain the achievement. If needed, I will figure out how to attach the world download for people to test.
So I manually switched it to night, and shot everything, I did finally manage to get the achievement. I wonder if the achievement is only available in the night time? I also had issues with the skeleton I placed despawning even though I was within range. The other issue is the kill shot has to be made 50+ blocks away, but hitting a skeleton has them move around, and several despawned before I could land a second shot. Perhaps the issue could be related to how mobs spawn and despawn (+maybe only available to unlock at night time).
In short, I am not sure what was wrong, but I know I was experiencing what I would consider unintended behavior with this particular issue.
Was unable to reproduce in Creative mode in 1.14.1-pre1; note that you have to be over 50 blocks horizontally (i.e. killing the skeleton while more than 50 blocks above it doesn't work).
