Thanks in advance.

I have a Zen Buddhist archer character in my current weird horror campaign. I decided to use the Instant Shot technique from PK's website. It works perfect, you can find it
here and I've reposted it here:

You draw, nock, and fire an arrow all in one smooth motion as a single attack (one maneuver instead of three). This replaces the three rolls normally required for quick-shooting bows (GURPS Martial Arts, p. 119).
(This technique buys off the normal Bow penalty, plus another -1 for "Only one Bow roll required instead of two" and -1 for "No Fast-Draw roll required." The minimum skills make this fair; in effect, you're simply avoiding nuisance rolls.)
