In all my year I haven't got kissed by a scope yet (knock on wood). I remember years ago shooting my left hand Savage 110 in 300WM. My uncle who was also a lefty asked if he could shoot it. We were always busting on each other so I told him not to let it get away on him. He really hunkered down on the bags and after his first shot he muttered something I won't repeat here and handed me the rifle as blood started pouring from his left eyebrow. I started laughing at him and told him "wow, that looks like it hurt". He again said something to me that I also won't repeat.
