One trick for this to help bullet recovery:
Get 2-3 5gallon buckets, a sawzal, and some duct tape. Cut the bottoms out of all but one of the buckets. Duct tape the buckets so they make a long tube, with a closed bottom. Set the water balloons up in a line in the tube, and shoot away. Water stops the bullet, buckets catch the bullet for recovery.
Hell I can't hit a 5 gallon bucket.
