Heartshots in Nightingale are basically one-hit kills (or just enormous damage) with a ranged weapon that hits the "heart". You'll have to experiment as to where this location is for various creatures, but for animals it is generally around the shoulder and it seems the target must not already be in combat. Many creatures do not seem to have heartshot locations at all, only weakspots, e.g., Bound seem to only have head weakspots and no heartshot locations.
An easy way to practice is on the slow-moving Elephas in the Desert Realms. Even if you don't want to bother with heartshots in general, you will need to do two for a sidequest involving Bass Reeves.
The Swamp Gloom Realm Trader sells the recipe for the Charm of the Assassin. This enchants a melee weapon to briefly reveal Weakspots and Heartshot locations on a target in exchange for a bit of Durability with each cast.
