I think a complex action is not only defined by the concentration
you need but its also a matter of time which you need to do something.
And readying a crossbow takes longer than a bow, especialy for the
heavier ones. So I thing a complex action is OK.
And after your course of action it would be two simples so no real difference.
A bow would be faster because you pull the string back with the arrow.
