There was a big post I made about the Bow Bug, and, it was indeed confirmed by other people. Using arrows in a bow removes extra damage sources.
Strength bonuses were never meant for short bows or long bows. Just composites, unless it is a rare unique magical item.
Strength damage is added to darts, throwing daggers, and the like, making a Kensai a fearsome archer, as I have found out.
In short, bows in SoA suck toe. They are, for all intents and purposes, useless as wings on a hog. With the exception of Gasen and Tasheron, they are bugged beyond belief. Crossbows, like the Giant Hair Crossbow and the Heavy Crossbow of Searing, are kings for damage, and the Army Scythe is fantastic for small arms fire. the Giant Hair Xbow actually adds +5 damage... 2 for being a heavy xbow and +3 for the magical bonus. Add in Archer bonuses and the strength damage, we are talking about some seriously painful damage.
