drew

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'tied' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pulled a bow string' is the second definition.
'drew' can be an answer for 'pulled' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'a bow string' bit.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drew that I've seen before include "Entertainer Barrymore" , "Dragged, sketched" , "was moving" , "Pictured" , "Ronnie of the Dubliners" .)
