[BNW] Hipshooting, Quickdraw, and the art of the bow

[Jennifer Brinn <whytcrow@io.com>]

Hipshooting says that you can take any weapon with a quickness greater than 
1 and "shoot from the hip", doing the shot in one action but adding the 
weapon's quickness value to the TN.  Does this cover bows as well?  Or does 
drawing an arrow count as one action anyways?  Is that arrow drawing 
counted in the Quickness value (I assume it is)?  Is Quickdraw any help to 
this at all?

I ask b/c I have an Archer char in my game, based off the Gunner 
package.  I rather prefer that weapon choice be stylistic, rather than 
something based on rules, so I'd like to smooth out the Archer (yes, I've 
seen the one on the Delta World site, but it doesn't quite fit my idea 
exactly).  I'm not sure I want to just say that he can shoot each round 
without problem, however.  We just haven't worked it out just right yet.

Thoughts?
