Fixing a bent bow at a Ren faire in 15 minutes flat

Ngl, I was mid-demo when my longbow snapped at the riser near the jousting field in Sterling, NY, and I had to improvise with a spare maple shaft and rawhide I kept in my truck. Some folks say you should just call it a day and refund the crowd, others swear the on-the-spot splice keeps the show alive, so which camp are you in when your gear fails publicly?

Feeling that pain, gear failing mid-show is a special kind of gut punch.
