Excuse me, but 100 arrows isn't a reasonable number to be carrying into a combat situation without some form of small cart accompanying you or magical mummery involved.
First, a quiver, depending on the style of arrow, will carry between 6 and 20 arrows, with 20 being the upper limit. So you'd have to carry 5 quivers, which are bulky, of 20 arrows each, in order to have 100 arrows at your disposal. The individual weight of each arrow might be small, but when you multiply that by 100, you end up with a fairly significant load. More than the weight, you have to contend with the bulk of the quivers, and you're essentially carting around something like a backpack with textbooks in them. This is not conducive to acrobatics, not least when considering you don't want the arrows to fly out of the quivers.
To get an idea of how big a quiver is, have a look at this: http://www.leatherbywc.com/HuntersQuiver.jpg
You might think that's big, but the average English war arrow is between two and two-and-a-half feet, as they were made to be half the height of the archer shooting them. You'd have to be using smaller arrows, you'd STILL have to cart around 5 quivers of about that size.
Now, if you've got an enchanted quiver, that's somewhat different. However, it's worth noting you don't NEED 100 arrows for this. I played a dedicated archer in the 2007 EC, and she had 30 arrows. I didn't even get 1/3 of the way through my arsenal.
This is all purely advice: as a contestant, I can't do anything more than this, so you can take it or leave it, as you wish.
