I've had a few eyebrow stitches in my 50+ year long career as a Loony.
Once you've been "bit", you tend to be more careful and more sensitive to ER on kicking guns.
My "Weatherby" eyebrow was from a hot loaded 45-70 Marlin and I had one of those Widefield Redfields mounted a bit too far back. I was shooting heavy bullets pretty fast (young and stupid) and it took several sutures to close the laceration.
I learned that a 300 gr. 45-70 bullet at around 1,850 fps kills'em just as dead and beats up the shooter a lot less...
