I would say no, for the following reasons:

Bow:
1- Tipping a bow forward can be a natural part of a draw, being able to grab the arrow at that point makes the whole motion more fluid.

2- Arrows are long, which makes removing them from any sort of reasonable quiver a bit of an exercise.

By making the natural motion of working a bowstring part of getting the arrow AND removing the obstacle of having to move about the very long bow you get a bonus.

Firearm using magazines:
1- Already quite small
2- Normally stored in a place very close to the weapon

A magazine in a rapid release holster in a comfortable position in the front of your body is probably about in the most convenient place it can be for reloading purposes.

A better equivalent might be 'would having your shotgun shells on the side of the shotgun ease the fast draw roll for reloading shotgun ammo?', in that case I would say yes. However I believe this is already covered in high-tech (as are rapid release holsters, and taping two magazines together for rifle use).
