I don't know why one author dismisses the twirling attack as harmless from behind. A Terrordactyl diving into your unprotected back will do just as much damage as a frontal attack.

I prefer using crossbows for any flying enemy who makes it a habit to fly far overhead. Other projectiles are far too slow and easily dodged. I have even seen a boss flyer actually slip slightly sideways in a completely unnatural and unaerodynamic movement to dodge just far enough to get out of harms way.

Recommended tactics to use:

-wait for the flyer to fly straight and fire a projectile along its path. -some flyers are so fast they are extremely difficult targets. You are likely to run out of ammo before you can do significant damage to bring down even one of the flock. Fly along one of the canyon's walls with any weapon with a blast radius. When an extremely fast flyer dives at the spot you occupied a second ago, fire at the wall. The blast radius will do the work for you. Be careful not to get hung up on the rough walls and become a sitting target. This tactic may take some practice navigating and aiming simultaneously.
