Quote:
Catch Off-Guard (Combat)
Foes are surprised by your skilled use of unorthodox and improvised weapons.
Benefit: You do not suffer any penalties for using an improvised melee weapon. Unarmed opponents are flat-footed against any attacks you make with an improvised melee weapon.
Normal: You take a –4 penalty on attack rolls made with an improvised weapon.
(emphasis to help my point)
A Bow would be an Improvised
Melee weapon, so catch off-guard would be applicable. Again, whereas it's being used in a manner not intended, any magical bonuses would not apply.
