The general suggestion is to use ranged magic spells, not bows.
Since you haven't opened up S. Castle yet you should probably look for the path in the forest which the mantraps cannot enter (as you're heading around the path north and then southwest to the castle). You should be able to keep them in sight and cast spells at them and then move out of range when you need to heal up.
Don't lure them back to town!!
(While I have a character that is very good in bow and actually carries one, I can't say that I ever found it to be particularly useful. Range spells are much better)
Good luck!
