Ready Grip
Wear a buckler or hold a light to standard sized weapon.
Passive: While Knock & Release does need both hands to release an arrow, a small shield or light to standard weapon may be held in the plucking hand while firing. This removes the Draw Action requirement for those items, and allows for seamless activation of Actions between the weapon types.
