A method and apparatus for decelerating projectiles includes the use of rubber nuggets. The nuggets are preferably between 15 and 25 millimeters to decrease sluffing when disposed at an incline. Preferably, the nuggets are coated with a fire retardant which promotes adhesion in the presence of heat. If applied in a solution, the fire retardant can also be dried on the rubber nuggets to promote adhesion between the rubber pieces. Furthermore, glue may be mixed with the nuggets or applied with the fire retardant solution to further increase adhesion between the pieces of rubber and promote stability of the layer of rubber nuggets.
