From a RL point of view, accurately firing a bow while wearing a lobstered gauntlet on the right hand would be very difficult, since you can grip the string as precisely.
I totally concur, Fade. And that's exactly what the Armor Prof (med) and (heavy) are there to reflect ~ training that you've undergone to be able to work around that.
If you're not prof. with said armor you'll have the ACP as a penality to your attacks.
