It's actually not cheesey since the game doesn't pause when you enter your inventory screen. So, if you spot an enemy that is in bow range, you could equip your bow and shoot at them. Then, if they are still alive by the time they get to you, you could open up your inventory, take your bow out of your quick weapons slot, and then equip your shielf in its stead for an AC boost.

In IWD2 the 3rd edition rule set changes all this and you are able to equip a sheild and sword in one slot and a bow in the other n switch like that....its way better but BG1 n 2 are way better plot wise.
