Regarding the bows? Just a fix for the enchantments on them...numerous times I've seen people go to enchant them with 30 levels of experience only to get "Punch 1". Rather silly if you ask me
Arrows on the other hand I have a more practical idea for. Now many of us have all seen the "elemental arrows" and such and unless Mojang decides to go that route and implement those themselves I myself find them to be rather...out of place. Unsure why to be honest.
But an alternative to them. Readying a bow with an arrow pulled back then moving in front of fire. Should this not simply light your wooden arrow on aflame? Perhaps give players a 5-8 second time limit to shoot the arrow when lit before the arrow burns up and you lose it. It'd be a cheap alternative to the "Flame" enchantment but the problem with it being you need both netherrack and flint and steel to create a fire to light your arrows. Meaning your source of fire is stuck in place.
I had a similar idea with adding gunpowder or a fire charge to an arrow to make quite literally an arrow with a pouch at the end for explosive arrows but that seemed a little far fetched. The effect of these would of course help but if not fired in time would no doubt blow up in your face.
(These explosive arrows could also implement the quiver possibly as a way to hold your "alternative" arrows as we would need a way to switch between the two)
I like the enchantment better as well but for those with horrid luck or who don't happen to have the time to get the XP or make an enchanting table this could be a cheap alternative.
I imagin players treating little fire pits with netherrack in them as almost archery stations, up on walls of their castles, in the middle of fields not only lighting the way but providing aid when fighting off mobs. And perhaps the arrow not burn up in your hand thus losing an arrow, but when lit you'll get your fire arrow but when you shoot it there's no getting it back.
Explosive arrows was pushing it I think, imagine griefers and trolls with a ton of explosive arrows. Now imagine if they got their hands on some redstone and dispensers and snuck up to an area on a hill near your house.
While they would be fun to use, I imagine the idea would be ruined rather fast because of the amount of people like that in Minecraft
