WHAT DOES "HIGH STRUNG" MEAN?
When a bow is "high strung" it means that when the bow is strung the height of the string from the handle is over 6 inches. This made the bow fast to shoot but over-stressed the wood causing the bow to have a very short life. When a bow fails it tends to explode.
So a "high strung" person is quick to blow up. Quick to anger, etc

High Strung quotes:
Thane Furrows: I'd rather... be... DEAD!
Thane Furrows: Relationships? They shouldn't even call them relationships. They should have a more descriptive name: Painland.
Thane Furrows: Smokers. There's no excuse for smoking. Smoking is the equivalent to carrying around a salt lick, laced with a little bit of cyanide.
