RE: double whammy!!

Well Little Miss P. You should be applauded for your self-effacing attitude in nominating yourself .
However, I'm afraid I have good news and bad news: The forgetting-to-adjust-the-sight-between-distances gag is a time-honoured error . Up and down the land, archers watch helplessly as their arrows sail over the target, only to airate the turf beyond.
No, I'm sorry, but we need a novel twist for that almost ubiquitous clanger to qualify for the coveted Fonz Award. Something like the time when I adjusted my sight up 10 clicks before lunch (so I wouldn't forget ) and then adjusted it another 10 clicks straight after lunch and promptly shot the back leg of the target stand. In my defence, I was a novice and I didn't have sightmarks .
However, vis a vis your second ####-up..
"Heyyyyy... Did you send your brain on vacation???"
One of the most amusing cases of Left-and-Right-Lexia I've ever heard ! Perhaps you should take a leaf out of Jimmy Cricket's book and wear wellies with "L" and "R" written on them , just so you remember which eye to close! They might come in handy when you wade out to retrieve your arrows!
Brilliant, have a Fonz.
