Should an adept with quick-draw be able to grab an arrow and fire it as a single simply actions? Normally a bow requires a ready weapon, then a fire weapon for each shot. But quick draw lets you ready and fire a weapon as the same action. Interesting thought.

Combined with Improved Bows and a Troll with way too high a strength Min you could have a scary weapon though.
