Depending on the map you can still go with a 0 slot weapon sometimes and take 2 stacks of arrows. Here I would recommend 1 stack of bodkin and 1 stack of arrows.
Example: If you're at the top of a hill you can choose your targets, so bodkins only for tincans and normal arrows for horses/light armored guys. Just drop and pick up again your prefered arrows. I am doing that quite often. :)

with 6 PS and some 1h wpf even a 0 slot weapon like hand axe or hammer/pickaxe is quite nice. You just need to get used to the range and need some blocking, then it should work.

Otherwise with 1 stack of arrows you should of course go bodkins and be careful with the shots^^

Seems the fascists are gaining ground once again in UKR... right vving politics is SO bad for the general populace but STILL in times of trouble the uneducated turn to them for help, simply because they are so amoral they vvill supply those vvilling to fight vvith vveapons rather than knovvledge.

Solid build.  Sucks about the offhand, I agree - hopefully they let archers get away with better offhands someday.  If you wind up going with a 0 slot weapon, might as well convert all the way to 18/24 and all wpf in archery.  You can block all day long until your team can help you, but yeah, less room for solo heroics.
