f. Grenade Throwing.

The Grenads Threw is a combination of a shot put and a
catcher's peg. Before the grenade is thrown the safety pin must be pulled
out with a pulling twisting motion. The pulling of the safety pin arms the
grenade, but it will not fire until the thrower releases the lever.

"The throw is exceuted by bringing the right arm up until the elbow
is on 2a lino with the shoulder. The palm of the hand is up near or touching
the shoulder. At the same time, the left erm is extended, palm dow, and point-
ing toward the target. The weight is on the right foot with the eyes sighting
along the left arm. The right arm is then throw upwards, as in shot-putting,
but straightens out end follows through as in a catcher's throw." (How to Throw
a Grenade. Scholestic Coach, 12:26. September, 1942)

approximately twenty ounces in weight can be used for practice in grenade throw-
ing. Rocks or other objects may be wrapped with friction tape if a more realis=
