I have no objection, in principle, to using the word "bow" to refer to your character's weapon, even if it does seem to be some variation of the quarterstaff. What I do object to is, in the sequel, continuing to do so while also introducing said character to characters who use bows such as are called by that name in this world, with no confusion on anyone's part.
Of course, I would also object to calling the weapon different things in different books. Perhaps you chose poorly in the first place.
Sincerely, a concerned reader.
