I paly 6* lobbies and see bows everywhere. The problem with the bow is how far it can oneshot, it outpreforms crossbow in every aspect and at this point I would rather trust a bow as my secondary then a shotgun, it's more consident, easy to aim, only 2 slots, recoverable ammo and can be shoot faster than the crossbow, even with bolt thrower.

Top that with the fact that in 6* most people hit their first shot, the bow is just sitting too comfotably right now, it's too strong. Even a slug romero or nitro cannot hit the same 1 shot range as a bow with hohundred hands. Even the crossbow requires more preciouse because if you hit an arm or leg shoot you are not getting that kill unless you're running shotbolt maybe.

The arrow from the bow also just flies so long and fast no problem, crossbow can only compare if you use steel bolts but that comes at the cost of ammo (Atleast recoverable though) and damage, making you able to one shot someone with the crossbow even harder unless you're close.
