a pretty lousy shot to miss a helicopter

Downdraft. Shot could go anywhere.

Downdraft affects path of round. Adjust elevation. Noted.

And hitting the windshield of a chopper or an automobile yields unpredictable results. Hitting at an angle could result in a richochet.

This dufus is lucky not to be sitting in jail awaiting arraignment for his "bravery" in firing at subjects who were not firing at him.........

I used to know a guy who worked for one of the military support operations on the East Coast. He had a nice spread up around williamsburg where he kept horses. The CIA used to fly over his place and spook his horses which really ticked him off. One day he went outside and pointed a rifle at one of the helos. He was visited by some Federal cops who told him not to do it again. He told them stop flying over here and I will. They threatened and he told them to get hosed. They did'nt arrest him and stopped the over flights. Lucky he did not get shot or put away.
