a stunt coordinator asked me to bowstring the line coming out of the performer flying hoist
(and I knew exactly what to do even though I hadn’
t heard the term before.)
usually used to adjust, in fine degrees, a performers body position, height, etc. when flying, where it is only a fine adjustment or reaction, rather than a new
mark that would involve a rope
mark change. A quick and easy way to make changes without rerigging a set
mark.
