How to constrain the Right Hand IK to the Bow without getting a cycle loop error

1. Open the animRig_Meli.ma file (or the game ready one if you're using that)
2. Run the following 2 MEL lines in a MEL tab in the script editor

setAttr "rig_Bow_R_HandAdjust_parentConstraint1.nodeState" 1;
setAttr "CTRL_PropC_R_Hand_DrivenAdjust_parentConstraint1.nodeState" 1;

3. Save the rig file as animRig_Meli_RHand.ma (or whatever you like)
4. Now you can constrain the right hand to the Bow without getting a cycle loop
