It is interesting, this level of potential violence. I have flown in (over) 5 continents, several times in "hostile environments", and the only place I have had a hit on my aircraft is in the Southeast of the US.
Moonshiners lead pretty well. I was flying at 2500' AGL and a ground speed of 138 Kts. 15 feet more to the front and we would have had some flesh torn up. As it was, only the tailboom. Did not even hear it impact.
