I'd say a -4 penalty to the Bow roll for a Hard task difficulty (B.345) seems appropriate. If you really wanted to pile it on, you could also assess a -1 or -2 difficulty penalty to the Climbing roll, since staying stable while fiddling with a bow and arrow would at least be "Unfavorable". I might also allow a pseudo-cinematic character to learn Techniques to buy off the penalties.

Cheers.
