Abstract:
A projectile recovery kit, comprising:an elongated trough having a first end, a second end, a longitudinal axis and a hollow interior; a projectile-capturing medium positioned in the interior of the trough and oriented about the longitudinal axis, a first portion of the medium being a fibrous substance adapted to transform a projectile fired into the medium into a fibrous ball that protects the projectile from remaining portions of the projectile-capturing medium and a second portion of the medium being a foam substance adapted to decrease the velocity of the fibrous ball containing the projectile as the fibrous ball travels through the medium, whereby the projectile can be subsequently removed from the fibrous ball and be in the same condition or near same condition as it was before it entered into the medium, and wherein one of the first and second ends is open, exposing the interior filled with the medium, and the other end is closed.
