I didn't see this under Known Caveats or on the Wiki, but if it's been mentioned, I'm sorry.

When an NPC is given a bow (or any ranged weapon), the first issue is that the items doesn't show up in the NPC's hands. The item is there, but it can't be seen.
Next, when you send your NPC into combat, it will do melee attacks. When you give an NPC a bow, he goes and hits his enemies upside the head with it, instead of shooting.
I would love a fix! Thanks.
