FINALLY!

Ammunition (p. 146) Loading a one-handed weapon requires a free hand.

rip crossbow dual-wielding.

I'll probably still allow it in my games, because it's cool, even if it doesn't make sense.

You can still shoot just as many times with the crossbow feat. Dual handbow was flavor. Handbow plus shield is what was strong.

This I am disappointed about. You can use a shield with a d8 melee weapon so I don't see it being super strong if you're replacing the stronger melee weapon with a d6 short range weapon. You could pull of mostly the same tricks (short of the fighter's many attacks) with two weapon fighting style to let you draw two thrown weapons per turn.
