I disagree. I think the purpose of a last-ditch missile shot
was to allow you to begin the next turn with a ready weapon
instead of having to take a turn to "ready new weapon" (which
implies sheathing the old weapon so it can be readied again
at some later time during the battle.) 

So if my high-dex guy wants to take a second shot, then he
doesn't have the time to use a sword the next turn - he would
have to choose the "ready new weapon" option instead since
he can't use the bow while engaged.
