YMMV


I think this is what you referring to;

I had not heard the story quite as you have described it above. Percy Stanbury was a well known and highly respected shot and coach. I have met a couple of his pupils, and he has been described as a wonderful coach and perfect gentleman.
There area couple of books he co-wrote (with G.L. Carlisle) still around.
