Accurately placing heavy, aerodynamic objects onto people when you start out directly above them is not very difficult. The hard parts are either placing the object on top of the person from a few hundred or thousand miles away, or - in this case - placing an object that tends to flutter rather than follow a ballistic trajectory.

It's still difficult; to do that, you need to know the wind speed at every point between them and you. Or you need to be so close that the wind speed doesn't matter, but at that point nobody's going to be impressed that you can hit them.
