Didn't Faramir shoot at one in TTT? Seemed that one arrow smarted enough to drive the thing away.

I'd say shoot many arrows then. Fire arrows would be better.

Gandalf used his magic flashlight to drive them off, but this may have been specific to the Nazgul and not the Fell Beast, so not sure there. How much weight could one carry? Could a bola-like device be useful to foul-up their wings? Once they are grounded, you might want to have a female Rohirrim nearby.

One thing that PJ made me think about that did not occur before I saw the movies was that these beasts weren't just up in the sky making everyone cringe but could be used in very close ground support.
