So where do you need to shoot it? The round thing, or the flat thing behind it?

Get one of those cannons that launches a net tied with weights. They've proven very effective against drones in Ukraine.

We're talking about drones, not pole-mounted...

So your saying like a tshirt cannon? Or basically a pvc tube with a net stuffed in the end and a pressured air tank + butterfly valve at the other end?
Im sure these will be so expensive to manufacture that no normal citzen would imagine building their own makeshift AA-drone net launcher, not in such a peacful time of our world.

I'm not sure of the technical aspects of it, but random farmers in Ukraine carry them on their tractors every day. There are video compilations out there of them using them to stop incoming drones. Maybe someone's posted the technical details
