suggest you look at the Quick Hands talent in Codex of Heroes.Q: Bows require two hands to fire, but require a free hand to “reload”. Can I use my free hand to cast a spell?
A: You would need to “drop” one hand from the bow, cast, and “pick up” your bow again. The Quick Hands talent in Codex of Heroes was created to make this easier.and then insert the rules for not doing it with quick hands?

There is an important distinction. Readying a weapon or shield is a Speed 2 Action, NOT a Simple Action. You may combine a Simple Action with another action. You amy NOT combine a Speed 2 Action with another action unless it says it’s Simple.
