Abstract
The apparatus is for installation at shooting ranges and has a housing that has a resilient top layer and a flexible bottom layer. The bottom layer extends along an inclined bottom surface and over an upwardly protruding support member to a front side. The top layer is attached to the bottom layer at the front side to form a container. A non-flowable granulate material is packed in the container. The inclined bottom surface is inclined at an angle relative to a horizontal plane. The angle is less than an angle of repose of the granulated material.

An apparatus for installation at shooting ranges, comprising:
- a housing (12) having a resilient top layer (24) and a flexible bottom layer (26), the layer (26) extending along an inclined bottom surface (28) and over an upwardly protruding support member (30) to a front side (34), the top layer (24) being attached to the layer (26) at the front side (34) to form a water-tight container (25);
- a stationary non-flowable material (16) tightly packed in the container (25) for adhering to projectiles that have penetrated through the top layer (24);
- and
- the inclined bottom surface (28) being inclined at an angle (20) relative to a horizontal plane (21), the angle (20) being less than an angle of repose (23) of the granulated material (16).
