This is probably because its completely embarrassing to admit you have done it.
Anyways, the problem Im talking about, of course, is scope bite.
If you dont know what scope bite is and have never experienced it, consider yourself lucky!
This typically happens when using high-powered rifles like a .308 or bigger.
It can result in bruising or possibly a split-open head, with a cut bad enough to need stitches.
It just depends on a variety of factors.
Although it does happen to new shooters, it can also happen to you if you are not careful.

How can it happen to you easily?
The eye relief was set up for that shooter and not Grant.
So how could this happen to an experienced SWAT sniper and scoped rifle instructor?
While in teaching mode he overlooked the eye relief portion of this shooters set-up.
Now, what is scope shadow?
The newer LPVOs selected by the United States Military has relief out to 4.1.
The reason is we are not all built the same way.
All of those factors plus some others can mess with your eye relief.
If its your rifle, set up a proper eye box for you, your eyes and your neck.
Have a good scope with an eye relief as close to that 4 range if you could afford it.
Get a good stock with adjustability that helps you achieve optimal eye relief.
