Bows is a weapon class.
Bows shoot equipped arrows that cannot be retrieved. Holding down the primary attack button draws the bow back, improving accuracy and damage when the arrow is released. Blocking cancels a draw without firing the arrow.
Bows have 2.5 seconds of draw time at skill level 0, which decreases to a draw time of 0.5 seconds by level 100. However, the bow can only be fired every 0.8 seconds, which can be reached at skill level 85.
