Sean Skipworth, 46, of Martin Road, Beverley and Carl Southern, 31, of Mayfield Road, Bridlington, received a 12-month conditional discharge at a hearing at Beverley Magistrates' Court.
The pair were arrested after they aimed at the Humberside Police helicopter as it flew near Bridlington in February.
