You do realize it's not as simple as just adding the bow in the game right?  They need to do the animations for drawing and releasing.  Same reason we don't have some of the guns in game, because the animations are not done yet

Read what I said.  They can model a bow in probably a few hours.  The animation is what takes time.  Quit bitching about stuff you know nothing about

The model, the animation, that's not the problem of the bow and arrow. The key point is shot physics. The bow needs the physics engine parts of the "throw". The "projectile" will be accelerated and arrive at the target and remain, the big difference to the firearms, the projectiles of the firearms are only virtual and disappear at the firing. So the bow, together with the "throwing", will see the light of Chernarus. If only the developers know, probably one of the next features, if the server / client structure solves the stability problems.

It's all of the above including animations.  It's just beyond silly how people perceive adding in the guns/bow and arrow as simple as just making a model of it and it just works..... *facepalm*
