We considered a bow ditching mechanic in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which would also be way quicker to just drop the bow before drawing the sword, but it was also very annoying to search for the bow after every combat interaction and if you would forget about it, you would have no bow on your next enemy encounter. This was very frustrating too play.

Eventually Shad will figure out how the ancient egyptians carried the stones for the great pyramid on their back.

“No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to give him flack
For the stranger there among them had a war bow on his back
A war bow on his back”

Untold archers through out history facepalming as think "Its that simple? Why didn't I think of that?!"

Either that or they're all thinking "Wait... are you telling me people forgot we did that?"

you can do it in reverse too: have a hook or nail attached to a belt and a ring or a loop on the shaft of your weapon. Would definitly be more comfortable for a spear and without fear of pointy nail impaling your hand.

At this rate, Shad is going to have us wearing an entire adventurer’s inventory worth of items on our backs.

This man is single-handedly arming all of my characters and making my life as an artist so much easier ;w;

Others: People didn't do this in reality. Stop doing it in fiction.
Shad: People didn't do this in reality. But could it be done?

Matt Easton: "You can't wear longbows on your back, that's just video game silliness."
Metatron: "Pretty much."
Skallagrim: "What they said."
Shadiversity: "O rly?!"

Something that really sets Shad apart from most other historically focused YouTube channels is that he doesn't let many common fantasy or videogame tropes annoy him. Instead, he tries to find a way to make them work, which I really respect.

"It's a very simple solution."

That's not how you patent your nail catch. "It's a sophisticated and subtley complex solution."

[gmanor]

At this rate Shad's gonna make portable machiculations.

10:44: The way you managed to fire the shot at the exact same time as the character made me cheer out loud!

This is becoming a series for solving common problems in fantasy

[MasterChiefJLPS]

*shad contemplates this conundrum while twirling a pen* * he drops it* *sees the clip on the pen* Shad: BY GEORGE I'VE GOT IT!

[esPeSkull]

"So what's the catch?"
"A nail."

[jollimaiahtacksworth]

The fact that wearing weapons on your back wasn't widely used, is proof that it wasn't really needed. The whole idea of it was popularised by fantasy fiction and seeing someone proof that stuff like this is not only possible, but also more convenient than the way it was actually done is really cool.
