I’m kind of surprised it doesn’t happen more often.

Despite their relatively slow speed Helicopters are not an easy target to hit, especially if the shooter has no experience shooting at flying objects and does not know how to lead one

I saw this helicopter on target from about a 1/4 of a mile before it made the forced landing. He was at a stationary hover of about one hundred feet AGL.
