String Jig

[Old Bloke]

Not a piece of archery equipment but what an archer does, when after their tenth attempt and with the spool of string material getting mighty low, make a string with the perfect serving and bracing height for their bow. Such is the relief and happiness of said archer, that many archers have been seen to spontainiously burst into dance around their string making equipment. This act, over the years, has become known as *The String Jig*

The strategic move archers make to sort out their wedgies

I was fortunate once to be at a string making session where a new jig was being danced around a bow. The bow in question had just been strung with a newly made string and the centre serving was just finished. (easier to do centre servings under the tenson of the bow) The archer concerned had just pulled in the loose end of the centre serving and was cutting off the tail.
Knife went the wrong way and limbs went where they felt most appropriate. Archer/string maker went all round the room.I think the word bother was mentioned a couple of times but in the merry making it could have been something else... mother perhaps.

String Jig: Something a compound archer does when the bowstring goes behind their armbrace on release and pushes his wristwatch into their wrists, sometimes followed by expletives( feel free to enter your own)!?**!!!!

String Jig: what happens when you lend your bow to an interested part and they dry fire it, snapping the string in the process; whilst there are juniors present.
