  A bow from a 5-piece you are wearing.

  
  This. you could always look for single bar sets as well. I run 7th back bar with bow and my armor buff. Frees up a 2 piece spot so 2 full 5 piece sets, a full monster set, then whatever 2 piece you want. Lag does make me want to give that up though as often have to make due on 1 bar.

  Ok thanks, i still feel like i know nothing in this game...not 100% sure how to utilize back bar weapons. Not positive what transfers back to front bar... still researching

  
  Simplest thing to do is a Bow version of whatever weapon set is on front bar. Then your stats/bonuses will be same on both bars.
  
  But that is not the way to maximize your potential stats and bonuses.
  
  Generally, any 5-piece bonus that says "When X happens, you get Y for Z seconds" will transfer from back bar to front bar. For example, "When you cast an ability that increases your Physical or Spell Resistance, you gain 350 Weapon Damage and 350 Health Recovery for 10 seconds." You can have 3 body pieces, a bow on back bar to make it 5 pieces, cast the armor buff ability on back bar, and the stat buff will persist for 10 seconds even if you switch bars. This is an advanced and powerful play tactic because you can have different 5-piece front bar bonus and 5-piece back bar bonus active at same time.
  
  Whereas 5-piece bonuses that are constant, such as, "Adds 2000 Maximum Stamina, Adds 2000 Maximum Magicka", are lost as soon as you bar swap (unless you have same set on front bar weapons).
  
  Another alternative, if you want to keep things simple, is an Agility bow. Bow counts as 2 items and Agility set has the biggest 2-piece stamina bonus in the game.
