The projectile ejection portion of the catcher mechanism is operated by opening the projectile yarn clip, ejecting the projectile from the picking path, closing the yarn clip and moving the members of the ejection mechanism out of the picking path by pivoting the members sufficiently to permit immediate entry of a following projectile prior to returning the ejection mechanism to the initial position.
